How to set where maven installs plugins?

I've tried building a project with maven 2.2.1 and received the following error
Notice the "directory cannot be created" - the reason I believe is that D: is a drive that was encrypted by TrueCrypt and is now actually H: (D: remains as a physical drive not accessible through Windows)

How do I make maven try to install the plugin on H: instead of on D:?

C:\dev\some-project>mvn -f uberPom.xml install

You can set the location of your local repository to a different folder by modifying the global settings file (located in \conf\settings.xml). Any plugins and artifacts would then be installed/downloaded to that location.

The following snippet would set the local repository to h:\Maven\repository for example:

<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0
                  http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd">
  <localRepository>h:\Maven\repository</localRepository>
  ...
