Is there a way to change the download directory of the Asset Store?

Hi, my C-Drive is a rather tiny SSD and already pretty full, that’s why my Unity install is on another drive. Standard Assets have been nicely placed there, but the Asset Store downloads to C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\Unity\Asset Store. Is there a way to change that (either somewhere hidden in the settings or via changing the registry)?

Thanks!

@Deepestblue - Yes, I am in a similar situation. Given that downloads from the asset store can be quite large, I would like to have the ability to configure a user defined downloads location to a mechanical drive rather than nail my SSD.

I have seen lots of discussions on other threads explaining how to relocate a Windows user folder and also understand the concept of symlinks… however, such suggestions are working around a problem that could be resolved with a quick fix in the Unity UI (or Asset Store download process)?

Thanks
