I think properly configured installers (i.e. those that don’t just have “C:\Program Files” hardcoded in them) will do that, yes. I no longer have a machine where I have done as I wrote in the post (got a new Eee with a proper harddrive, put Linux on the old one) so I cannot check.

This is excellent! Thanks!

A quick question: does this affect installs? The whole point of me not creating a D:\Program Files manually, and instead junction-pointing it away, is I have other programs that don’t like to recognise anything but the original C:\Program Files path.

In short: are new installs going to read that key, too?

Sorry, the third one was supposed to be:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\[Profile Code]

Oh, and for those that did the same for their User folder, these are the locations for the keys to edit:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Volatile Environment
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\[Profile Code]
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\[Profile Code]
HKEY_USERS\[Profile Code]\Volatile Environment

The same values are also present in
“HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion”
for the 64-bit version.

So it’s probably a good idea to change those as well.
