Can you relocate where the "Settings" folder saves? I cannot access "User"

Question

So my BF2042 files are in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Battlefield 2042" not in my "Documents" folder, in there i have the following folders;

_Installer
_overlay
Core
Data
EasyAntiCheat
Support
x64

Then outside of those folders i have the application itself and a few other files that look like gobbledegook.

I have this game downloaded on my work laptop (yes its a gaming laptop, don't ask how i swindled my boss into getting me one lol), but i can only access "My Documents" when i am in office as we don't have cloud server up and running as yet so i can't use a VPN right now, i access remotely via Citrix.

My question is, am i able to alter some settings so that my "Settings" folder saves somewhere on my C: drive instead, i currently have to sit through the intro and re-do my settings everytime i launch the game, its super annoying lol.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated thanks!

You're best bet would be creating a local user account on Win10 to just play Battlefield on. A local account should use the C: drive for game settings in Documents folder I think.

Create a local user account:

Select Start > Settings > Accounts and then select Family & other users. (In some versions of Windows you'll see Other users.)

Select Add someone else to this PC.

Select I don't have this person's sign-in information, and on the next page, select Add a user without a Microsoft account.

Enter a user name, password, or password hint—or choose security questions—and then select Next.
