In WindowsXP C:\Program Files directory is the default base directory for installing new programs. But you may want a different location into which new programs will be installed. This is very much possible.You can change the default installation directory by editing the Registry .
Go to Start > Run. Then type regedit and press OK. The registry editor window will open. Navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
Click on CurrentVersion and in the right pan find the value ProgramFilesDir. This value is selected as C:\Program Files by default.
Double click on ProgramFilesDir and change the value data to the location of any valid drive or folder of your choice.
From now on Windows will use that new location as the default installation directory for new programs.
