Default Program Files Directory

G

Guest

I have a workstation w/ 2 hard drives. C/D. I have the Program Files Directory on the D drive for performance. Is it possible to set something in the registry that sets the Default Program Files directory to wherever you want, like a system envoirnment variable? Is this how it works or do most installation programs just tack on Program Files to the windows drive? Thanks in advance.
