Modify the Windows 8 system installation path method

Under Windows 8, the download and install software is operated through the app store. In the app store, the path to install the software is set to the default and the user cannot change it. This is why many users are asking how to change it. The reason for 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 in:

1. The installation path in the win8 app store is Can not be changed, there is currently no way

2.win8 metro application installation directory in

system installation disk /program files/windowsapps (hidden in this folder, you need to close the hidden view) Inside, (C: Program FilesWindowsApps here), it is recommended to reserve a large space on the C drive

As for those who don't know how to view the hidden folder method, simply say the next one, it is very simple. As you can see at a glance, you can understand

If you want to delete the files in the file, you need to get the permissions of the system. Since you want to modify the Windows settings, 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 a bit more complicated, as follows:

1. Press “Windows logo key + R key & rdquo;, enter regedit, open the registry editor

2. Expand “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionAppx”

3. On Appx, click the right mouse button, select “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. After selecting the currently logged in user, click “edit”, a new dialog box will pop up, and the basic permissions will be set to “ Full Control & rdquo;.

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 installed afterwards 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. In contrast, the self-built folder has a relatively large permission. A lot of system account permissions are missing www.it165.net.

And whether the larger permissions will cause any security or usage 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 Modify the permissions of this folder, add some system account permissions, and then limit the permissions of some accounts, try to have the same permissions as C:ProgramFilesWindowsApps.
