continuous integration - How to change Jenkins default folder on Windows?

Question

How to change Jenkins default folder on Windows where Jenkins runs as Windows service. I want to change C:UsersCoola.jenkins folder to d:Jenkins due to lack of space on C: partition (Every build takes ~10MB of free space). I don't want to reinstall Jenkins as Windows service. I just want to change folder of existing Jenkins instance. In case of lack of global solution I could focus only on relocating jobs folder.

Thanks in advance for your help.

• Stop Jenkins service
• Move C:UsersCoola.jenkins folder to d:Jenkins
• Using regedit, change HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesJenkinsImagePath to "d:Jenkinsjenkins.exe"
• Start service
