Adding 2 values to the registry?

Question

Hi,

Is it possible to use a multi string value in "Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion" for the program files folder?

For example:

ProgramFilesDir:

C:\Program Files

D:\Program Files

Answer 1

Basically, I have a separate drive for my OS and a separate drive for installing all of my programs.

If you know in the name of the Photoshop folder then you can create a symbolic link on drive C:  that lets Windows believe that the program is on C: even though it's on D:. Post again if you need detailed instructions.

Answer 2

Basically, I have a separate drive for my OS and a separate drive for installing all of my programs.

I recently purchased Adobe Photoshop, however, Creative Cloud only installs to C:\Program Files and does not install to D:\Program Files. I was wondering if I could make them both an accessible Program Files dir.

Of course you can make it a multi-string value but what you should really ask is whether Windows can cope with it. I do not think it will. What is the purpose of this exercise.
