I have resolved a problem i was having with [D] drive, when i inadvertently installed a 2nd

copy of WXP Home on my 'D' drive. I have solved that, but now those software

installations which don't give me the option of browsing an installation to C drive,

automatically install on 'D'. How do i make 'C' drive the default to install to?

Thanks in advance for all suggestions.

Go to Control Panel there goto administrative tools there you will find a option to set your primary drive go there and set it C: and you are done.

You could do it, but it's not recommended!

That's not whats being asked.

The question is about doing it the other way around if that makes sense.

So that by default applications install to a different drive, not just changing the letter of the same drive.

this may be useful, if I understand what you're asking. you may also be able to make your D:\program files dir a symlink to C:\program files.
