Minion won't put addons in right folder, also broke ESO?

Here's a rundown of my experience with the program:
1. changed install directory to d:\documents\minion
2. downloaded mods, ran eso, no mods present
3. checked addons folder, no mods present
4. uninstalled minion, deleted .minion from d:\documents
5. reinstalled minion in default directory
6. checked minion's addons download directory, was writing to d:\documents\documents\eso\live\addons
7. manually removed one of the /documents/ from the line, quit, restarted minion, change did not save
8. used the browser to change the addons directory, quit, restarted minion
9. minion now hangs forever with a loading bar
10. uninstalled minion, deleted users\me\.minion
11. repeated 5-9

Now for the worst part:
12. started ESO, login now hangs at "connecting to server"

My users\documents folder is moved at the OS level to d:\documents because I use an SSD, which lots of people do. It looks like Minion gets really confused by this and can't accurately find the addons folder.

I don't want to be one of those people who blames all their problems on the last thing they installed, but Minion was literally the only thing I changed in my system that converted my working ESO game into a dead one. What does the program change that could have done this? (deleting my entire live folder, locales, programdata, and repairing installation didn't fix it either)

Minion shouldn't effect your game one bit. Does the client still hang if you have no addons in the AddOns directory?

Yeah, like I mentioned, there's nothing in the addons folder.

As for the game not letting me log in, it would appear that it's a common issue that a lot of people are having after the patch, which somehow only affects accounts (other people can still log in on my computer and play just fine).
