Change the Default Directory of Software Installment

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.

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.
