Default Roaming vs Local Profile

I did. But that's really not relevant. My question remains: Is the
location of the nickname cache file settable/selectable someplace? And if
so, where?


I already answered this question for you, two days ago.

*Why* is the cache stored in the Roaming folder? (When it previously was
not, in XP.)


It wasn't stored in "Roaming" in Windows XP because Windows XP doesn't HAVE a
Roaming folder. It IS, however, stored in exactly the equivalent place, the
folder indicated by the "AddData" environment variable. On Vista and 7,
AppData points to C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming and on Windows XP and 2000, it
points to C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data.
