Windows Vista ( and also Windows 7) , like its predecessors, uses the System Disk for installing any new applications, That is, if your Windows is installed
on the C Drive, the default folder where all the applications you
install would automatically show up as C:\Program Files , unless of
course you change in manually while installing the application’s
locations.
If you almost always prefer to NOT install on the System Disk, but instead on another partition, say, the D drive, then rather then changing the default location everytime, you can edit the registry as follows:
Open Regedit and navigate to the following key:
Now in the RHS Pane look for the value: ProgramFilesDir
Double click on it and in the box which opens up change its Value data from C:\Program Files to D:\Program Files.
Click Ok. Exit.

Open Regedit and navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
Double click on it and in the box which opens up change its Value data from C:\Program Files to D:\Program Files.
Click Ok. Exit.
The default directory for installation of all you programs shall now be D:\Program Files.
