I am not sure if there is a setting for that but why is it a problem. CE saves the cheat tables in that folder and is pretty convenient.
You can debug CE and stop it from writing that folder if the folder keeps coming back after you delete it. Shouldn't be too hard, just do a search for that folder in string refs. Or recompile CE with that removed.

Add a lua script to the autorun folder of ce which deletes that folder on execution

Code that will remove this folder every time:
| Code: | pathDelete="C:\\Users\\Admin\\Documents\\My Cheat Tables"
io.popen('rmdir "'..pathDelete..'"'):close() |
(it will remove folder only, if it is empty)
Force CT files path:
| Code: | desiredMyCheatTablesPath="E:\\TablesHerePlease"
getMainForm().SaveDialog1.InitialDir = desiredMyCheatTablesPath
getMainForm().opendialog1.InitialDir = desiredMyCheatTablesPath
--and Lua package search
package.path = package.path..';'..desiredMyCheatTablesPath..'\\?.lua' |
(just create folder for CT files wherever you want, and update desiredMyCheatTablesPath)
all \ must be changed to \\

...Or plan B: open cheatengine-i386.exe or cheatengine-x86_64.exe with an hex editor (or CE itself) search for the string "My Cheat Tables" and replace it by "My Cheat*Tables". Windows does not allow * in directory names->directory creation fails->hohoho.

The problem with that is that the kernel functions will refuse to work then on 64-bit uf you're using the signed version of the driver (The signed version checks if the .exe files have a proper signature)

What? You still use CE 6.1 ?
Above Lua script is for CE6.3
