You might want to change the loca­tion of your sys­tem default folder (C:\Program Files) from C drive to another sys­tem dri­ves (D or E drive). By default soft­ware setup will attempt to install pro­gram in C:\Program Files direc­tory. It is good prac­tice to make the backup of the installed pro­grams, if you installed all your pro­grams in other than C drive. If you have lit­tle knowl­edge about edit­ing win­dows reg­istry then you can con­fig­ure your com­puter for this purpose.

Fol­low the given steps to con­fig­ure win­dows registry:

First click on Start but­ton then type Regedit in Run option.

Here locate the loca­tion to:

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion

Here in right side panel, dou­ble click on Pro­gram­FileDir and here its default value is

C:\Program Files.

Now mod­ify the value to any other drive (for exam­ple D:\Program Files).

Now close the reg­istry edi­tor and restart your com­puter after any changes to go into effect.
