Hi,
I have a problem with my userdata folder. I have a special character on my username so I have an error on XBMC startup.
I would like to know how can I change userdata folder ?
Thanks !

Run XBMC in portable mode. Do this by creating a shortcut with a command line option of -p. Run XBMC from this shortcut once, to create the folders. In the main XBMC folder there will now be a portable_data subfolder and in that userdata subfolder. You can copy anything from your existing %appdata% userdata store into that, or start new. As long as you use the shortcut to start XBMC, you are good.

If XBMC is in Program Files or Program Files(x86) then you will probably have to change permission on the xbmc directory and subdirectories to allow writing
If I have been of help, please add to my reputation as a way of saying thanks, it's free.
