Change the Default Directory of Software Installat

Change the Default Directory of Software Installat 



You may want to change the location of your system default folder (C:Program Files) from C drive to another system drives (D or E drive). By default software setup will attempt to install program in C:Program Files directory. It is good practice to make the backup of the installed programs, if you installed all your programs in other than C drive. If you have little knowledge about editing windows registry then you can configure your computer for this purpose.

Follow the given steps to configure windows registry:

1. Click on Start button then type Regedit in Run option.

2. Here navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SOFTWARE>Microsoft>Windows>CurrentVersion

3. In right side panel, double click on ProgramFileDir.

4. Now modify the value to any other drive (for example D:Program Files).



Now close the registry editor and restart your computer after any changes to go into effect.
