Problem with user path

Recently i changed my user account path for Windows 8.
My old user name had an "é" and that was giving problems with some programs.

All programs work fine, except Newsbin. It still uses the old username in the path. (and creates files under that path)
So i suspect that the username was hard-coded in somewhere in the settings of newsbin, instead of using C:\Users\%username% as the path.?
Reinstalling Newsbin will probably fix this problem, but thought it was worth posting for the developers.

I'm running 6.60 beta 10 on a win8-64b machine.

You just need to edit the NBI file. It contains the data folder. The reason it's in the NBI file is many people move the data folder to other drives. It can get pretty big. First time through, it reads the default user path from windows and then saves if to the NBI.
