I just created a new AVD and noticed the .android folder was placed at
D:\.android instead of the documented location. Then when I run the
emulator using this AVD, the emulator cannot find it and so fails to
run.

I assume this is because I have changed the location of the standard
user folders (Desktop, Downloads, Documents etc) - i.e. right click on
the Documents folder and then click on the Location tab etc

So, for example, my desktop is stored at D:\Desktop instead of C:\Users
\<user>\Desktop.

I've tried moving the .android folder back to the Users location with
limited success. First I had to edit the .ini file to point to the new
location. However, when starting the emulator I get an exception about
being unable to read/load the preferences. The emulator continues to
start up but never progresses beyond the Android logo screen. Oh, BTW
I'm using 1.5r2.

So, in short, the default location for when creating an AVD is not the
same as the default location used by the emulator when retrieving the
AVD.
