Vista - Moving the My Virtual Machines directory

I'm running MS Virtual PC v5.3.582.27 on a Windows XP Pro SP3 system.
The contents of the My Virtual Machines directory has become quite large
and my C: partition has less free space than I would like. I have plenty
of room on another partition. How can I move my virtual machine files? I
would prefer NOT to move the entire My Documents directory if possible.
Thanks!

says...1) In Windows Explorer select the 'My Virtual Machines' directory
2) Press Ctrl+X
3) Navigate to the partition where you would like to move the directory
4) Press Ctrl+V

change the MyVirtualMachines environment variable? I don't find it in
either the options or settings menus on the Virtual PC Console. Thanks!

*newly created* Virtual machines. It has no effect on existing machines.

You can treat virtual machines (VHD+VMC) like MS-Word documents:
existing documents can be copied anywhere and opened in the new
location.
I have Virtual Machines al over my system in all kinds of directories
and I have never set any environment variable.
