You might 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 the Windows Registry, then you
can configure your computer for this purpose.
Follow these instructions to make changes in Registry:
- Click Start and the click Run, Type Regedit and click Ok
- Navigate to the following Registry Key
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
- Once you Highlight CurrentVersion, on the right side, you will find ProgramFileDir with the default value C:\Program Files
- Right click and choose Modify or Double click on ProgramFileDir
- Change the Value Data to any other drive (for example D:\Program Files or E:\Program Files).
- Restart your computer for changes to take effect.
