Well done - next week we'll see if you can get you into the dark depths of using the ("black box") Windows console. Wink

not easy it seems

Is it really that hard for you to create a desktop shortcut and change the target to the following?

Code:
Target: "C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe"  -datadir=D:\btcdata

Look for the "datadir" option - I think it can only be specified as a command-line option therefore you'll need to create a custom shortcut to start your bitcoin-qt (or modify the shortcut you already have).
