Okay, im on a fresh install of Windows Pro and I have my drive partitioned like:

C: 7 GB for Windows
D: 60 GB for Programmes
E: 60 GB for Media files
F: 3 GB in FAT32 for loading DOS

I was wondering if I could move the default install path to D:\ My Programs as opposed to the C:\ drive...

also, I was wondering if I could do the same for My Documents

Thanks in advance for the help...

EDIT: WITHOUT installing windows to drive D:\

edit:

To redirect special folders to a specific path

1. Open a Group Policy object that is linked to the site, domain, or organizational unit that contains the users whose special folders you want to redirect.

2. In the console tree, double-click Folder Redirection to display the special folder that you want to redirect.

Where?

policy name Policy > User Configuration > Windows Settings > Folder Redirection

3. Right-click the special folder that you want to redirect (such as Desktop, My Documents, and so on), and then click Properties.

4. In the Setting box on the Target tab, click
Basic - Redirect everyone's folder to the same location.

5. Under Target folder location, click Redirect to the following location.

6. In the Root Path box, type a UNC path, such as \\server\share, or type a locally valid path, such as C:\somefolder, and then click OK.

Just use the TweakUI Powertoy from Microsoft:

You can change the default folder locations for everything including Programs, images, videos, etc.

Kenny, you're an idiot. Hope I helped!
