Hey! So you're setting up your new system with Windows 8 on a 120GB SSD and want more control over where things are stored. The default installation places the files on the SSD, but some programs don’t let you pick a custom folder. You can still change this by using the Disk Management tool or adjusting the installation settings before you finish. If you're unsure about what cache means, checking the Windows documentation or forums will help clarify things. Let me know if you need step-by-step guidance!

Just install it on the SSD and transfer the files to the hard drive.

You can modify the registry, that's what I did.

You can also create a Program Files directory on another hard drive and install the programs there. This way you avoid modifying the registry.

We can apply stardock to modify themes and then adjust the registry. It’s an unusual approach, but I believe it’s possible.

Yes, you want to save a quick access point for the app folder inside the Program Files directory.
