If your windows OS is installed in C drive, whenever installing new applications, the default suggested installation path is C:\Program Files. If you don’t like to install new applications in the default path for example install in D:\Softwares, instead of changing the path manually each time, you could actually do the simple registry hack to change the default installation path to the one as per desired.
1) Open Registry Editor. (Start > Run > Type regedit > Click OK)
2) Goto the following key.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion.
3) Here in right side panel, find ProgramFilesDir key.
4) Double click on it and change the value to your desired path. For example, change the value from C:\Program Files to D:\Softwares.
Now Your default installation path has been changed to your desired path whenever you install any new applications. Hope this simple tips can help you to work more effectively by simplifying the routine process of installation.
