How to move IntelliJ system file to another folder

For work, I use IntelliJ IDEA, when working in Java world. For my current client, there is a quota on my user directory, which means I have to move IDEA system files to another folders.

  1. Locate the file idea.properties in your IntelliJ Idea\bin folder
  2. Edit idea.config.path
  3. Restart

I changed it from

idea.config.path=${user.home}/.IntelliJIdea10/config

to

idea.config.path=${idea.home}/.IntelliJIdea10/config

It is very easy to do, but it was hard for me to google the result.
