Yes, the History, Swatches, and other folders have been moved to Docs and Settings, as a salute to Vista, which does not like modifying files in the Program Files folder.

If you would like to move the history folder, this can be done by changing the registry with regedit.  The name of the key where the folder names are located is:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARECurvemeister.comCurves 3-Install

As it stands now, unfortunately, the installer will reset this each time you do an installation. 

I tried having the old version of the folder be retained, but this caused some rather tricky support problems with pins disappearing or being overwritten, and then having to guess where a particular customer's pin files were located.
