edbro Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 You can change your default install directory (C:\program files) in your winnt.sif. Check the help file, I don't have it here with me at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it changes it back again to the default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incroyable HULK Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 Lois, I'm not totally sure but doing this reg tweak may cause problems the FIRST time you launch an application installed to your F: Drive.You'll have to point manually to the .exe file if your shortcut are not working...

edbro Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 Your shortcuts do not use environment variables like %programs%. Therefore, the paths will get written as "F:\programs\application.exe". Should be no problem.Who is Lois??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jito463 Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 I'm assuming from the pic under his name that he's quoting that "Family Guy" cartoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
