Hopefully, that helps and do comment below sharing your thoughts and experiences about changing the default program files location in your Windows system. This is because Windows doesn’t natively support changing program files directory and because of that, some Windows programs may have trouble functioning as they should. That’s all there is to do, and it is that simple to change default program files location in Windows.Įven though the process of changing the default Program Files location is pretty easy, Only do it when it is absolutely required. Open Control Panel-> click Programs-> click Default Programs -> click Set your default programs -> select the target browser -> click Set this program as default.
Once you are done with the editing, this is how it looks like in your Windows Registry. Also, you can follow the steps mentioned in the previous part to change default browser in Windows 8.1. If you are using a 64-bit system, then you also want to edit the key “ProgramFilesDir (x86).” As per me, I want my program files location to be in my D drive, so I’ve changed it accordingly. Here, enter your desired location and click on the “Ok” button to save the changes. This action will open the Edit String window. Once you are here, find the key “ProgramFilesDir” and double-click on it. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
