How do move Windows "Program Files" folder?

[fred_easey]

Hi,

I've got two partitions on a Hard-Drive: "OS" which has the windows install and is only 6GB size and "apps" which is 70 odd GB and is meant to hold applications.

However, When I try to install applications, they default to C:\Program Files\ and won't install to the apps partiton.

Question - how do I alter the default location of the "Program Files" folder so that when I install apps they go to the apps partition?

Open up regedit and goto;

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion

then change the ProgramFilesDir key.

Ah that's the one. Thanks
