hi, i need help how to set the default directory path when installing
softwares . When im installing a software, the hard drive directory
path always appears the main directory path which is C: but i want
the default directory path to be D:

Is it possible to do what i want? or i have to decide where the files
go when im installing softwares.

Can anyone tell me how to set the default directory path from C: to D:

Much Appreciated. Thanks


Do you actually install software so often that manually selecting the D:
drive during the install becomes tiresome?

Most of the time - honestly - the path it gives you as default is the
program choosing it based of environment variables you SHOULD NOT change -
like %SystemDrive% and the likes. So it is the applications poor
programming - not necesarily the OS - that causes you the grief.
