Win8 store application default installation path modification tutorial

  
When you installed win8, enter the application store but found that can not modify the installation path and do not know which folder is installed?
1.win8 application store inside the installation path can not be changed There is currently no way to use the
2.win8 metro application installation directory in the
system installation disk /program files/windowsapps (hidden in this folder, you need to close the hidden view), (C:Program FilesWindowsApps here ), it is recommended that the C disk reserve a large 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 shown in the figure, you can understand at a glance.

If you want to delete the files inside, you need to get the permissions of the system. Oh, I have a special tutorial on how to get the permissions, very detailed.
Since you want to modify the Windows settings, of course, you must start with the registry.
The programs in the Windows 8 app store are automatically installed into the C:\\Program Files\\WindowsApps 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 be the same as the permissions of C:ProgramFilesWindowsApps, perhaps to comfort the feared mind
In addition: I can tell You are an easy way, if your computer is equipped with a dual system, when you enter another system, you are going to play that folder, this folder is no different from the normal folder, you do not need permission It is.
