There are several folders containing NetBeans settings and other related data that reside in user's home folder. I'm using Windows Vista, let's say my username is Ondrej. My user folder (%UserProfile%) is redirected to disk D:\ (previously C:\Users\Ondrej). After installing and running NetBeans, these extra folders are created: D:\.netbeans D:\.netbeans-derby D:\.netbeans-registration C:\Users\Ondrej\.netbeans I would like it very much if these were relocated to either %ProgramData% directory or to %UserProfile%\My Documents. These are the proper folders for kkeping user/machine specific program data. I like to keep my folders tidy ;)
Btw. You can redirect .netbeans whereever you want with --userdir parameter. For the others, it depends on what Java runtime thinks is your home directory. Which apparently is D:\. If anyone can help you, then it would be the laucnher maintainer, I guess.
Assigning to db, because of .netbeans-derby.
