Changing Chatlog Location

This may be a silly question, but some quick searching didn't provide an answer, so:

I am running City of Heroes from a solid-state drive on Windows 7. Since SSDs are not optimized for the kind of disk activity that creating log files produces, I'd like to write my chat logs to a different location from the City of Heroes install path. When I ran CoH under Linux, I was able to replace the log file directory with a symlink to the directory I wanted to use, and that worked fine. I'm not sure a Windows 7 shortcut works in the same way, though. Has anyone else done this?

I'm pretty sure that there isn't an option in game to move this, but you can use a symlink as well under windows.

Here's a Lifehacker article on symlinks.

I've used LinkMagic to create symlinks before as well.
