Probably your HOME environment variable is set to F: and so Zenmap tries
to create the configuration there. We might add an option to Zenmap to
control which directory is used:

But I have been holding off implementing it because this problem only
seems to happen on Windows, and a command-line solution may not be
accessible to some Windows users.
