How to change the default Windows 7 64-bit installation directory?

Just installed Windows 7 64 bit home edition, can't seem to change the default installation with regedit successfully directory. Is no problem in XP. I have the windows installed on a small SSD with a second hard drive to use for progams for example F:/Program Files.

Anyone done this successfully?

Thank you very much

Steve.

The 64-bit version has two versions of regedit. Make this change as well:

1.) go into start > run: %systemroot%\syswow64\regedit
2.) pass: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-SOFTWARE-Microsoft-Windows-CurrentVersion
3.) change the path in DWORDs ProgramFilesDir, ProgramFilesDir (x 86) the new path, probably just change the drive letter.

  • How to change the default (Windows 7) painting 'Save as type' JPG (from PNG) format when recording using the * only * the keyboard?

    This is the 2nd time this same question, the 1st time that I was given an irrelevant answer which was not helpful at all. Please take the time to read and understand what I need to before you answer.

    I just need to learn how to change the default PNG to JPG, so every time I save a screenshot using (only) the keyboard, it will already be showing JPG as the "Save as type". I am sure that it requires an edit registry so just point me in the right direction and guide me on how to do it, that's all I need.

    To help you understand my dilemma, I take a lot of screenshots and Ctrl + V paste in Paint almost daily. Since my physical disability in my arms causing me pain and discomfort when I use the mouse, I avoid using the mouse I use the shortcuts as much as possible to help reduce the constant pain, I'm still in my right arm when using the mouse. I hope I have explained well enough details.

    If it's in the wrong place, please move to a better place.

    Thank you

    I don't know of any registry value, but you can use the key sequence to "Save as jpg.

    ALT

    F

    V

    J

    The F key may be pressed simultaneously with the ALT key or after him.

    You can reduce the number of keys to just ALT plus a digital key by using the following, adapted from one method described HERE.   Setup is much easier with a mouse, but can be done using the keyboard only.  I showed you the controls and mouse shortcuts keyboard to add an icon "" Save as JPG"to the Quick Access toolbar.

    Open Paint

    Mouse Keyboard equivalent
    Click on the file Menu (upper-left) Press ALT + F to open the file Menu
    Hover mouse on ' Save as ' to open the list of file types Press V to view the list of file types
    Right click on JPG to open the context menu Use the TAB or down arrow key to select JPG and then press SHIFT + F10 to open the context menu
    Click "add to quick access toolbar. Press A to "add to the Quick Access toolbar.

    At this point, your installation is complete.

    With open Paint, press the ALT key .  This will display the keys associated with various actions.  In my case, "" Save as JPG"icon that has been added to the Quick Access toolbar was the fifth icon (after save, undo, redo and print).  So, to "Save as JPG," I would press ALT+5 (even once, you can press 5 either with or after you press the ALT key).

  • How to change the default window size?

    When I open any file in ID, it defaults to the view full screen - in other words, the file takes up my full screen. Is it possible to adjust the size of the window, either as a default value for a particular file. I tried the following:

    1. Open a new window with no other window open, save as a new file, and then close ID - no luck.
    2. Open an existing file, reset the size, save the file, ID of closing - no luck.
    3. Check preferences - I saw no applicable options in the preferences (there might well be one, I don't couldn't find it).
    4. seaching this forum, I have seen this problem mentioned in older versions of ID, but wonder if she was treated in ID CS5.

    Background information on my system:

    MacBook Pro

    Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.7

    ID CS5 7.0.4

    Please let me know if more information would be useful. Thanks in advance!

    NW

    I had this same problem in CS5. I don't know if you ever figured this out, but perhaps the solution for you to turn on the "Application Framework" in the menu window. This tells InDesign what size full screen, then you can drag the window to a smaller size and it will always open at this size. I hope this helps.

  • How to change the default value of MS Paint record - an output to jpg for shortcuts KEYBOARD: Alt-F-A (or S)?

    I've seen a lot of posts on this subject here, but they are all on the use of the mouse and I did not yet find one with an answer to MY specific dilemma.

    I take screenshots and edit photos (Nothing fancy) almost every day. Given that my physical disability in my arms causing me pain and discomfort when I use the mouse, I need to use several shortcuts as humanly possible help reduce the constant pain, I'm still in my right arm using the mouse.

    I *need* to know how to change the default hotkey Alt-F-A (or S) to save it as a JPG file relative to the current default value PNG which I use never, never. If it requires editing the registry, no problem, just point me in the right direction and guide me on how to do it.

  • How to change the default save to C: disk / d: /.

    I saw the article about how to change the default value.  I only did this and is installed by default on the D drive, but the computer still records in two drives and does not record on 'my documents', but saves just 'documents '.  When I click on the file I save it says it is registered in two places.  When I click on the two places, it shows that the default is now D: which is what I want.  I don't want for the file to be saved in two places.  Is there a way to save only on D: and eliminate the duplicate record on C: not safe if possible... help will be appreciated.  Thank you.

    Westley

    When you say c: documents and D:Documents, can provide you the full path you are viewing?

    The real essentials you need to know is that libraries are not records.  They are really just a quick search of several places.  Try this: right click on the document library and select Properties.  This will tell you where the library is looking.  Whenever you open the document library, it performs an instant analysis of these places and tells you what he found.  Is not additional copies files, it's just search results. If you delete something, you remove the one and only original, everywhere where it is.

    You might ask "well, what's the point of a library?  I'm glad you (perhaps) asked.  The reason is you have a lot of places.  Take me for example.  I have some movies on my hard drive.  I have more moves on an extra drive (they will all take place on the main drive).  In addition, my roommate has a few movies on his drive.  With a library, I have a library of videos that research on all drives and gives me a single view combined all our movies instantly.  Now I can see all my films in my library at the same time, no matter which disc they are on.
