Yes. There is a procudure I've seen posted on the internet. Don't have the link anymore. But the basic procudre is just to change the installation location.

If you are referring to the Disk Cache Location. It can be set under Preferences -> Network -> Disk Cache Location.

There isn't any setting that I can discover in the viewer settings.xml file to do this, so I'd wager that the only way to do it is to change the location of "documents and settings" at the OS level, which is not an easy task for the uninitiated.

If you want to change where SL is installed, simply uninstall and reinstall to a different folder.

If you want to change the location of the cache you can do that in Preferences / Network.

If you want to change the location of where your logs are saved, you can do that in Preferences / Communicaton (you need to be logged on for this one)

If you want to relocate the Second Life folder under "Application Data" (there isn't a whole lot there other than your settings - cache and logs you can move separate) you can use Junction (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/FileAndDisk/Junction.mspx) to retarget a folder to another disk (as long as you use NTFS).

It probably makes more sense if you could explain why you want to? The settings aren't big enough to really take up any space and for everything else you have an easy way of moving them.
