Change The Default Location For Installing Apps
As the size of hard drives increase, more people are using partitions
to separate and store groups of files.
XP uses the C:\Program Files directory as the default base directory
into which new programs are installed. However, you can change the default
installation drive and/ or directory by using a Registry hack.
Go to
-Start > Run
Type “regedit” (without “” NOOBS!)
Go to this directory…
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft
\Windows\CurrentVersion
Look for the value named ProgramFilesDir. by default,this
value will be C:\Program Files. Edit the value to any valid
drive or folder and XP will use that new location as the
default installation directory for new programs.
