HOw do you cahnge the default place were a program installs?

When i install a program it always goes to C drive and i don't want it to do that How can i change that so that every time i install software the default will be like D drive
HOw do you cahnge the default place were a program installs?
1. Navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\鈥?br>
2. Find ProgramFilesDir whose default should be C:\Program Files

3. (Change this to whatever directory you wish.) I changed it to D:\Program Files for example.



Even I had to look that up. Never tried doing that before. That's just to change the default. Also, when your installing programs, if they give you a %26quot;Custom%26quot; option, choose that and it'll let you select exactly where you want to install on your entire computer. Hope this helps.
