I prefer D:\prog (since the C: is a cramped compressed volume and "prog"
is much easier to type than "program files").
Unfortunately, some programs insist. Office was really bad. I did all
I could to put it on the D:, but either most or all of it stuck in the
C:.
There probably should be some registry hack that allows the "Program
Files" directory to be D:\prog or something similar. Does anyone know
more? I want the OS partition for the OS and nothing more!
