If you want to change the default location of programs then you can follow these simple steps.
1. First of all copy the “'Program Files(x86)” folder to another drive. For example D: , E: or other location where you want to move the programs.
2. After that restart your computer system and press F8 at the time of restarting then enter the boot menu and then choose the “safe mode with commandpromtp”
3. After that enter the following code.
Code:
takeown /f "C:\Program Files(x86)" /r
cacls "C:\Program Files(x86)" /G username:F /T
(substitute 'username' for your windows logon name)
del "C:\Program Files(x86)" /F /S /Q
rmdir "C:\Program Files(x86)" /S /Q
mklink /E "C:\Program Files(x86)" "E:\Program Files(x86)"
shutdown /R
After finishing this system will use the program file folder that is on the E: or the drive you are going to set.
