    My machine at work uses ProQuota to limit the amount of profile space being
    used.

    When RSSOwl downloads feeds, it comsumes all the available profile space.

    I've tried using the following parameter to move the profile directory to
    another location

    but it continues to use C:\Documents and Settings\<username>

    -data E:\data.rssowl
    -data E:/data/.rssowl
    -profile E:\data.rssowl
    -profile E:/data/.rssowl

    The correct argument is "rssowl.exe -data <folder>" in which RSSOwl will then
    create a folder called ".rssowl2". Are you trying with RSSOwl 1 or 2?

    This is RSSOwl 2.0.3 Build 2010-01-20

    I've got the argument set as follows: -data "E:/data/.rssowl".

    The .metadata folder IS created in "E:/data/.rssowl" but the config200 folder
    is still being created in the

    "C:\Documents and Settings\<username>.rssowl" folder.

    Where is the actual downloaded feed data stored? That's the piece I need to
    move from my profile folder to an alternate location.

    Thanks

    Ah right, this folder can be set with another option:

    rssowl.exe -configuration

    I should update the FAQ to make this clear. Note that the folder is not
    becoming very large over time.

    Thank you very much. The combination of -configuration and -data moved
    everything out of my limited profile space.
