Change The Default Location For Installing Application

As the size of hardrives increase, more people are using partitions to seperate and store groups of files.

XP uses the C:\Program Files directory as the default base directory into which new programs are installed. However, you can change the default installation drive and/ or directory by using a Registry hack.

Run the Registry Editor (regedit)and go to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion

Look for the value named ProgramFilesDir. by default,this value will be C:\Program Files. Edit the value to any valid drive or folder and XP will use that new location as the default installation directory for new programs.

Hi,navigation was a real key. With my old site I just had 5 categories of products, and the store pages with Web Design Cochin had a long list of things available to purchase. But with the new website, we could actually add sub-categories to make it easier for people to find stuff. Thanks............
