How do I change the location of the Program Files folder in XP?
In regedit Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
Find the key called ProgramFilesDir
Tip:
Dont add a '\' on the end of the location, for example
c:\program files as opposed to c:\program files\
You can also find Common Files path, Device Driver path, Media Path,
Wallpaper directory in this location
For system and special folders use:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
