[Qgis-user] Qgis Windows : How to change default path for “.qgis2” folder

[Richard Duivenvoorde]

Have a look at this blogpost:

http://qgis.dk/the-man-with-the-golden-gun-or-some-examples-of-installing-and-using-qgis-in-a-networked-environment/

and --configpath "THIS PATH" should work fine

it makes QGIS NOT look at your old .qgis2 folder, but create a new one
in D:\cci93\test_modify_config_path

Regards,

Richard
