When you install a new application Vista by default place it into a spacial folder called Program Files or just Program which is usually located in your C drive root, if Vista is installed in such a drive of course (C:\Program Files). If you are one of those people who like to format your PC as often as I do, you may need to use another folder located into another partition, so that when you format your hard disk, you won’t have any need to re-install your software. Here is a nice hack to change the default folder used by Vista to install programs to whatever folder you wish.
- Click Start.
- Click Run…
- Type Regedit.
- Look for this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ Windows\CurrentVersion
- Now look for this subfolder: ProgramFilesDir. Double click on it and change C:\Program Files to D:\Program Files.
- Of course, instead of D:\Program Files you can specify whatever folder or partition you wish.
