Under Windows8 system, download and install software is operated through the app store. In the app store, the path of the installation software will be set to the default, and the user cannot change, which is why many users They are all asking why they changed the default installation path for Windows 8. Let's let Xiaobian give you a small trick, and easily change the Windows 8 installation path.
When you installed win8, you entered the app store and found that you can not modify the installation path and do not know which folder to install:
1.win8 application store installation path can not be changed, there is currently no Any method
2.win8 metro application installation directory in the
system installation disk /program files /windowsapps (hidden hidden in this folder, you need to close the hidden view) inside (C: Program FilesWindowsApps here), recommended C Disk reserves a lot of space
Figure:
As for those who do not know how to view the hidden folder method, simply say the next, in fact, very simple. As you can see at a glance, you can understand the
If you want to delete the files inside, you need to get the permissions of the system. Since you want to modify the Windows settings, you must first start from the registry:
Windows8 App Store The program in the program is automatically installed to the C:Program FilesWindowsApps directory by default. You can modify the default installation path according to different user requirements. However, you need to obtain permission in advance when modifying the registry, so the steps are slightly more complicated, as follows:
1. Press "Windows logo key + R key", enter regedit, open the registry editor
2. Expand “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionAppx”
3. On Appx, click the right mouse button ”-“Permissions>, check “TrustedInstaller”-“Advanced”
4. In the pop-up dialog box, select “Change”, another dialog box will pop up and click “Advanced”.
5. In the new pop-up dialog box, click “Find Now”-“Select the currently logged in user”-“OK”.
6. Pop up a new dialog and click “OK”.
7. Select the currently logged in user and click “edit”, a new dialog box will pop up, and the basic permissions will be set to “full control”.
8. After the above steps have been granted permission, you can modify the "PackageRoot". After double-clicking, modify it to the corresponding path.
So the APP that is installed later will be installed in WinAPP.
However, the permissions of this new directory built by the user are inherited from the disk drive, and the original C:ProgramFilesWindowsApps has more permission restrictions. Relatively, the self-built folder has relatively large permissions and is less. Less system account permissions www.it165.net.
And whether the larger permissions will cause any security or use problems, remains to be seen, if anyone will worry about whether there will be any special circumstances, perhaps you can compare the permissions of C:ProgramFilesWindowsApps, this will be built Modify the folder permissions, fill in the permissions of some system accounts, and then limit the permissions of some accounts, try to have the same permissions as C:ProgramFilesWindowsApps.
