qgis - How to change default path for ".qgis2" folder on Windows?


I'm working with Windows 8 32Bit OS and QGIS 2.8.2.


The QGIS default installing path for ".qgis2" folder is C:\Users\image95\\.qgis2. This directory stores several useful components like QGIS extensions, SVG images or cache.


I really want to move the location of this directory to my D: disk.



That's why I edited the qgis.bat file and I added the following line:


--configpath "D:\cci93\test_modify_config_path"

So, currently, my qgis.bat file is like that:


enter image description here


Unfortunately, my attempt did not seem to have the expected effect. When I restart QGIS and I install new extensions, the installation directory seems to always be C:\Users\image95\\.qgis2. Moreover, the extensions installed earlier are no longer available and usable.


Could you tell me the way to reliably and properly change the path of the directory ".qgis2"?
