To change this folder so that future applications are installed on another hard drive or another directory, a small change in the registry is to be performed.
Just follow the following steps:

  • Click Start, Run, type regedit and then click OK.

  • Open the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion .
