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.
