Is there a way to change the drive the cache is stored on?

My root drive is pretty slow, especially compared to my slave drive. I'd like to store the cache files on my slave drive, however the cache files are automatically being stored in the documents and settings folder on my c drive. Is there a way to change the drive the cache files are stored on? If not, is there any talk of adding that option in the future?

Thanks, I'll try creating a reparse point. What's a good program to use to do that?

I do wish there was an easier way too. I have heard this issue come up before several times.
