I've read this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=127355.0

And I am trying to change the target but nothing is working! I've tried "E:\Program Files (x86)\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe"-datadir=E:\Bitcoin

I've tried it inside the quotes and out, I've tried putting "E:\Bitcoin" in quotes, it's just saying '"The name "E:\Program Files (x86)\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe"-datadir=E:\Bitcoin' specified in the target box is not valid.

What do I do?

Try below code, as it works for me for the longest time.
Code:
"E:\Program Files (x86)\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe" -datadir=E:\Bitcoin

You do not have "E:\Program Files (x86)\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe" & -datadir=E:\Bitcoin spaced.

If this does not work, I believe I ran into a similar problem. Something to do with the shortcut and linking. Lets see how above goes first.
