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. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html |
