Windows 10: attempting to change the default disc for saving all new programs from C to D (SSD to HDD)

I was attempting to change the default disc for saving all new programs from C to D (SSD to HDD), and after changing ProgramFilesDir and ProgramFilesDir from C to D and having no luck (none of the installed programs could be found), and reverting, attempted to change ProgramW6432Dir, from C to D, but after finding that didn't work either, now can't get back into regedit to revert. Does anyone know of a fix to this?

Can't change the default disk for saving new programs. Now I can't get into regedit.

Moving OS to new SSD but keep Programs on HDD

Hello,

Is there any way to move/clone the OS to a new SSD while keeping the programs on the HDD (and being able to still keep the previous location association with shortcuts) (example: Shortcut on desktop: Location: (HDD) C:\Users\Sam\Desktop

Name: Steam

Target: C:\Program Files(x86)\Steam\Steam.exe

--> Moved to SSD: Location (SSD, as boot drive): D:\Users\Sam\Desktop

Name: Steam

Target: C:\Program Files(x86)\Steam\Steam.exe <--- Target stays the same)

Is this possible?

 

Any way to change programs in Program Files from C: to D:?

Heya!

I've an ASUS Transformer Book T100TA with only a 32gb SSD. I purchased a 128gb SD card to help relieve storage space. My SD card is my letter D: drive, my current primary letter C: drive is only 32gb. From
Settings > System > Storage > Change where new content is saved and turned all the content from C: to D:. When I download programs, they go to my D drive thanks to Google Chrome, but when I install it,
it defaults to my C: drive. I'm fine to manually switch it to my D: drive, but some programs don't allow me to switch and just automatically puts it to my C: drive. Is there a way to automatically put my D: for programs too? Thanks!
