Change the Default Location for Installing Programs in Windows


Change the Default Location for Installing Programs in Windows.It 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 or directory by using a Registry hack.
1.Open Run & type 'regedit' then hit enter.The Registry Editor will open.
2.Go to Edit->Find then type 'ProgramFilesDir' and hit enter.
3.Look & Double click on ProgramFilesDir in the search result and Edit the value to any valid drive or folder you want.
4.Then click ok.That's all.
Now, Windows will use that new location as the default installation directory for new programs.
