Change the default location for installing application in windows

Running short of disk space in your system partition (windows partition) and want to change the default location of  Installing Application in windows?? Read the below lines carefully.

XP, Vista, Win 7 uses the C:\Program Files directory as the default base directory into which new programs are installed. However, we can change the default installation drive or directory by editing Registry of the windows.

1.Run the Registry Editor (regedit)and go to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion

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