Determine the location of the software post-installation
Steps:
Determine the location of the software post-installation
It is recommended to choose a disk with more hard disk memory (I chose D disk)
Then copy D:\programs
Modify the registry
Open the Registry Editor
双击HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SOFTWARE>Microsoft>Windows>CurrentVersion
Four key values that need to be modified
CommonFilesDir、CommonFilesDir(x86)
Indicates the location where some cache files of this program are written
Then modify the value data of the key value to D:\programs
ProgramFilesDir、ProgramFilesDir(x86)
Indicates the installation location of this program
Then modify the value data of the key value to D:\programs
after modification
Appendix: x86 is the installation location of 32-bit programs, and no x86 is the installation location of 64-bit programs
verify
Verification steps: restart the computer > install the software > the default installation location will be changed to the programs folder you created
Test with an installation package, open the installation package
You will find that the default position has changed to your changed position, which is why we have to modify it, just change this

But you will find that when you click on the desktop Microsoft edge, you will find that it cannot be opened
This requires you to change the path before the change and copy the folder corresponding to the software.
Copy the folder corresponding to the software
Copy to the changed path
The desktop application can be opened
Why is this happening? ? ?
Because the previously installed software is installed in the C drive folder by default, you changed the location before, so you need to move to D:\programs, and the desktop picture can be opened (equivalent to the furniture you bought before when you moved. , if you want to continue using it, do you have to move from the old place to the new place). Therefore, this method is not recommended for systems that have already installed a lot of software. It is too troublesome to move around. It is better to reinstall the system and arrange the installation location.
experience
This convenience is not suitable for systems with too many software installed, but for systems that have just been installed, and the capacity of the C drive is small/there are not many software
So please use this method with caution, use with caution, use with caution, use with caution
