Change The Default Location For Installing softwares In PC

XP uses the C:\Program Files directory asthe default base directory into which new programs are installed.





However, you can change the default installation drive and/ or directory by using a Registry hack.
Run the Registry Editor (Go To Run And Type : 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.To Change Right Click On It And Select Modify.And Change It As You Wish.
