In any operating system Windows, location default where the applications are installed is system partition (If we Windowsthe installed on C:There is installed and applications, if installed on D: for example, all applications in D: to install). Which can lead eventually if used resource-intensive applications / data (e.g Adobe Photoshop), at the heavy load of Windowswhenever it is turned on. To avoid this irritating situation (who likes to turn crank?) Solution is moving location default for installed applications in any other partition different from the system.
How can we change the location default to install applications in Windows? Quite simply, using a Registry tweak (Follow instructions below):
- first open Registry Editor (Registry Editor) - type regedit in Searchacquis in Start Menu (Or open a Run and tastasti regedit) Then give Enter
- follow the path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersion
- in the right pane you enter (String) ProgramFilesDir whose set value default this C: Program Files (if you have Windowsul installed on C :); double-click (or right-click->Modify) And change location any valid folder or partition.
- close regedit then restart your computer for the change to take effect
Note: Before editing the system registries, make a back-up of them (click on File in the upper-left corner and select Export) to ensure that you will not suffer the consequences of any errors.
