Change Documents folder

Many programs use user Documents folder for store their user data (ex: UserDocuments/MyAppUserData).
I want this program not use user Documents, but the ProgramFolder/Documents/MyAppUserData.

What have I to use, a launcher or a shortcut?
What is the correct syntax?

Thanks.

I have tried to add in

I have tried to add in shortcut:

--user-documents-dir=C:\Programs\MyApp\Documents

but the programs still create folder in Documents.
Is there an error?

Use [DirectoriesMove] section on AppNamePortable.ini

[DirectoriesMove] is the one you're looking for.
