A partial workaround that I have used is to change the data directory so that it is not buried so deeply (i.e. D: \ MySQL_Data). This makes it much easier to enter the path.

The downside is that all of your data files will now have to live here. I'm also curious to see if anyone has a more elegant solution.

I would recommend creating a link (shortcut) for the client and define the working directory (source directory) to that desired folder. I did this and it worked great.
