It's the way most install packages are defined. The default is the Program
Files directory on the disk that Windows was installed on. It's the default
way a new installation package gets configured when it's created by a
development platform like Microsoft Visual Studio. I know, I've just started
creating installable programs in the last week.
I install all my ham stuff on E:\. I try *not* to install programs on the C:\
drive, just the operating system. This allows me to do a clean install without
losing most of my data.
I think there is a registry tweak you can do to change the default "C:\Program
Files" to something else. I've had mixed results with it.
