Hello everyone!
Like many, I've bought an SSD to put my OS (Windows 7), as well as some other programs that could benefit from it. I have a 120GB SSD and 1TB HDD.
I've successfully redirected most documents, music, pictures, videos and download files to the HDD. Also, I'm taking care to install my games and some programs in the correct drive.
However, I still noticed that some programs are being installed in the C:/ drive (my SSD) despite I telling them not to. This includes Java, some Apple applications, an even some game folders (I'm looking at you, Rockstar Games)! Of course, they go under the C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files (x86).
I've gone in the registry so those "program files" would go to my HDD (E:\) automatically, though I don't know if i have made the right thing.
There are still many folders under Program Files (x86) that I don't know if they are safe to simply move (or use a mklink), such as "Adobe", "Java", "iTunes"... Are they ok to move? Should I do something else? I don't want to eat up all the SSD space without realizing!
Thank you in advance!
