MS Office 2008 for Mac - Is it possible to relocate the "Microsoft User Data" folder?

[#1]

Does anyone know of a way to prevent or relocate the "Microsoft User Data" folder that writes itself to the user's Documents folder using Casper? I would like to move somewhere else, and in the previous version of Office (2004) it let me move it to the User's Library/Application Support folder, so I packaged it this way with Composer. Office 2008 doesn't seem to fall for this trick. Any suggestions?

Thanks so much!

A sym-link or alias pointing back to the original should still work in
Office 2008. This is the only way you could do it with Office 2004.

That's probably the safest way to do it, unless you did something like re-locate the entire user folder.
