Hello.
After setting up my new computer and installing the new SSD, i stumbled across a problem. Whenever i would download or install something, it would install onto the SSD because it was listed as C, the main hard drive. (Meaning C:\Programm Files was on C, the SSD). I googled and found a tutorial, which told me to open up regedit and look for something, i sadly forgot what exactly it was. I think it was just the programm files thing, which i was supposed to change from C to E, my HDD. I did so.
However, when i tried running regedit again i got the error mentioned above. How can i reverse what i did? I cannot acces regedit anymore. I tried running it from the folder as administrator. I also tried creating Programm Files on the HDD and copy regedit into it and run it from there, that didnt work either.
The exact error message is the following: "Windows cannot find C:\Windows\regedit.exe. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."
How can i reverse what i did, and how do i properly change it so my HDD is the main hard drive to safe/install stuff on? Thanks in advance.
Edit: I belive these are the steps i followed:
To change the registry, follow these steps:
1. Start Registry Editor by entering “Regedit” in the search All programs.
2. Locate the following:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
3. Right click on the value named ProgramFilesDir & change the default value C:\Program Files to the path you want to install all your programs in.
4. Click OK and Exit.
