Change default installation location in windows

Posted by Siddhesh Scindia Saturday, January 1, 2011

So, your computer has no space left in the C drive?
By default, windows systems install any application in the location C > Program Files
You can change the default installation directory, here's how



You can change the default installation drive and/ or directory by using a Registry hack.
Run the Registry Editor (Windows + R and enter regedit) and go to


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.
Done!
