How to deal with altcoin wallets that sync everything to user folder?

[btguydude]

My Windows partition is limited, and when I've to reinstall Windows - I want to not have to copy a bunch of stuff off of that drive. That's how my system is set up now.

I noticed that many wallets don't let you choose the folder and just sync it to the user folder... Is there any way to deal with that? Whether it's GUI or not?

I'm asking here generally, because it's widespread it seems...

Most coins have the option to set the data directory. Usually it is an option in the starting command. Just add --datadir=<path> to the starting command where <path> is the path to the directory you want the data to be stored in.

Thanks, I'll do that for all the command line ones.

What about the ones that have a GUI that doesn't offer such options, though?

If you open up the properties of the shortcut which starts the program, then you add that option to the command inside the target text box.
