How to choose your own directory for build to publish?

Using Build ---> Publish is nice, but it installs (on the client's machine) into an esoterically-named directory. As you can imagine, this is a nightmare to backup. Does anyone know how I can direct this thing to install into a directory that I choose?

Thanks in advance!

You can't. Publishing you application with a ClickOnce means that an application is installed for one user only in de Application Cache. If you want to specify the location where it's installed, you should create a Setup project within your solution.
