Qbittorrent - How to prevent files from being created in C:\Users folder?

When qBittorrent Portable is started it creates two folders in C:\Users\user\AppData\Local and C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming. Is there a way to prevent these folders from being created? They seem unnecessary as the same files are created in the installation directory. Even though the folders get deleted when I exit qBittorrent Portable I don't want them created at all since I have it installed on another hard drive. Is there a way to do this?

Not Without Rewriting qBittorrent

You'd need to rewrite some sections of qBittorrent itself and recompile it to accomplish this.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Recompile

As I said, you'd need to alter the code of the base app to accomplish what you want. We don't control the code of qbittorent, we just portablize it.
