Windows 10: Modify default folder locations

My new computer has an SSD drive [C:] and a 1TB hard drive [D:], I'd like to change the default Documents and Pictures folders to the D: drive, is there a registry tweak that will do that?

When I move My Files To New Internal Drive, Folder Icons That I've Set Disappear

Hi,

The reason why the icon wont copy because its a different file location and will automatically set to default ones the folder/files went out the drive. We tried to re create the issue and we found this:

• Moving/copying a modified icon folder from a drive to another set the folder icon back to default.
• Moving/copying modified icon folder from a drive to any sub folder with in the drive will not set the icon to default.

Regards.

 

how do I uninstall something that was put in c:/programfiles in windows 10?

Hello,

In Windows OS, by default, software get installed on your System Drive, usually C drive, in the Program Files folder. It’s a convention that ensures proper inter-operation between your program and the OS’s application and security models. So, once software
programs are installed they go by default to C:\Program files on the computer. This can, however, be changed by selecting another folder or location or partition. To change the default installation folder, the data must be modified in the ProgramFilesDir
key and a new path must be chosen for the installation folder.models. So, once software programs are installed they go by default to C:\Program files on the computer.

Kindly take note that Microsoft does not support changing the location of the Program Files folder by modifying the ProgramFilesDir registry value. It states that if you change the location of the Program Files folder, you may experience problems with some
Microsoft programs or with some software updates.

Let us know if that worked out for you.

 

Got it. Settings, Storage, done!
