Digital watch: Questions & AnswersWednesday, September 16, 2009 Hello Digital Watch I created a partition but I realised the default C: drive has a smaller capacity. How can I change the default location of my installation to my D: drive, which has a higher space Answer: For window XP uses the C:\Program Files directory as the default base directory into which new programs are installed. However, you can change the default installation drive and/ or directory by using a Registry hack. I used partition magic to increase the size of my C: drive making it higher than my backup drive D: To use the registry hack: Run the Registry Editor (regedit) ? Start ? cmd and type regedit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion Look for the value named ProgramFilesDir. by default, this value will be C:\Program Files. Edit the value to any valid drive eg, D:\Program Files. or folder and window XP will use that new location as the default installation directory for new programs or location. Note: backup your registry for incase you lose the paddle. 2. How to get correct information from Google..

Example continue any time you want to add other sites 127.0.0.1 localhost (local host is the site you want to block) 127.0.0.2 www.blockedme.com For every site block after that you want to add another, just add "1" to the last number in the internal ip (127.0.0.2) like am doing below 127.0.0.3 www.mapacha.com 127.0.0.4 www.mapachanjie.com 127.0.0.5 www.mnjie.com 4.
