How to change the default folder where the install program

By default, if the windows operating system is installed on drive C, then the programs or software installed will be located in the folder C: \ Program Files. More and more shobat install the program or software, the more space is needed in the partition C and automatic residual space / volume on partition C will be minor. Thus it will be a slow computer performance.

To prevent this, we can overcome them by changing the default program installation folder from C: / Program Files to another folder that has been created specifically for the installation program (eg course, D: / Programku). Thus each of us to install the program, the installation program will lead to the folder D: / Programku not on C: / Program Files. For that we made some changes to the registry editor.
Go to the registry editor
Simply go to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion
In the right pane, double-click on the key ProgramFilesDir
Change the value data from C: / Program Files to D: / Programku (or other folder that shobat desire)

Click OK
Restart or logoff computer
From now on if shobat do install a software or program, the file installasinya will be in the folder D: / Programku.
The steps above can be performed on Windows XP and Windows 7
