Battlefield 3 created its game data folder for settings and screenshots at the top level of my documents folder: \My Documents\Battlefield 3.
Most games get this right, saving their data in the Windows-standard Saved Games folder. I'll skip the rant, but if every program selfishly dumped its settings at the top of My Documents it'd become an organizational outhouse.
I haven't found a way to tell Battlefield to move this folder to the right place. In fact I'd be happy to put it anywhere but the top of My Documents. Any ideas?
Note: there was an an earlier question about the game installation directory, but I haven't found an answer to this question there.

Are you feeling brave? You could try experimenting with
mklinkin Windows...This could, however, cause Origin (or Steam, too) to wig-out and stop the game working due to copy protection issues.
There's a 3rd party app around that uses symbolic links behind the scenes to let you change Steam's game data dir so hopefully it's feasible in this case too.
