The trick is that this is *not* something to be configured. RHIDE puts
the .exe to the directory it's running from. So the usual solution is
to *change* to the directory you want the exe to be in (usually the
same one the sources are), and then start RHIDE there. 

This whole problem is typical of Windows users having little or no
experience at all with the DOS command line. They will set up a
desktop link to RHIDE, and then they're surprised all their .exe's
generated by RHIDE land in their Windows directory.

The essence: _Don't_ start RHIDE by a desktop link with default
settings. At the very least, modify the 'working directory' setting in
the 'Program' tab of the properties of that link. It's usually simpler
to just start a DOS box, 'cd {your project directory}', and then type
'rhide' from there.
