Installing the Ethereum 0.11.1 wallet to another drive then C problem: you can't backup your accounts anymore #4161

When you install the Ethereum wallet to another drive then C (to drive X) and when you also change the C appdata folder to another location on that X hdd drive, by adding this to the shortcut: "X:\Ethereum-Wallet\Ethereum Wallet.exe" --node-datadir="X:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Ethereum" you can no longer backup your accounts when you go to "file-> backup-> accounts", as it doesn't open the needed folder to backup your keystore file.

Only the "backup-> application data" option is functional and opens the application data folder. When you click accounts, the folder is not opened. The keystore folder does exist in the new location X:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Ethereum\keystore however, but the wallet does not open it.

I think this is a serious bug that needs a fix!
