If you’re like me, you like to keep your computer running smooth and hassle-free.如果您和我一样，您希望在您的计算机保持平稳和轻松自由。 One way to do this is to install applications on a drive other than the drive where Windows is installed.方法之一，这样做是为了安装应用程序对驱动器以外的其他安装Windows的驱动器。 So by default, most computers will have Windows installed on the C partition and most programs will be installed in C:\Program Files .因此，默认情况下，大部分的电脑将安装的Windows的C分区和大多数程序将被安装在C ： \程式档案 。

Of course, whenever you install an application, there are some system files that have to be installed into Windows directories on your C drive, but it still can take a major load off your Windows partition if you’re running very data intensive applications like Photoshop, video editing software, etc.当然，当你安装一个应用，也有一些系统文件都必须安装到Windows目录在您的C驱动器，但它仍然可以采取的一大负荷脱下你的Windows分区如果您正在运行的数据非常密集的应用程式如Photoshop ，视频编辑软件等。

If you have a desktop computer, it might actually be much better because you could pop in a secondary drive that is much faster than the original drive.如果您有一个台式电脑，它实际上可能会好得多，因为你可以在弹出次要的驱动器是速度远远超过原来的驱动器。 Also, you might be asking yourself “Well why would I change the path in the registry when I can choose the path I want to install to during the program setup?”另外，您可能会问自己： “为何我会更改路径，在注册表中，当我可以选择的路径，我想在安装过程中安装程序” ？

Good question!好问题！ Well, for two reasons: some programs don’t give you an option of where to install the app to and sometimes you might just forget to change it manually.那么，原因有两个：某些程序不给你一个选择的地方要安装应用程序和有时候你也许只是忘记改变它手动。
