Guys!

I found following Tips from Tweak UI, which I didnt know before! And I thought of posting these Tips here:

1.) Hold down the shift key when switching to thumbnail view to hide the file names. Do it again to bring them back.

2.) If you create a file called Folder.jpg, that image will be used as the thumbnail for the folder. What's more, that image will also be used as the album art in Windows Media Player for all media files in that folder.

3.) From the View Menu, select "Choose Details" to select which file properties should be shown in the Explorer window. To sort by a file property, check its name in the "Choose Details" in order to make that property available in the "Arrange Icons by" menu.

Keeping the value to les than 50 will sky rocket the menu. Better the value is kept more than 50.

Default drive

After you back up your registry, this is how you can change this default location.

1. Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
2. Find ProgramFilesDir whose default should be C:\Program Files.
3. Change this to whatever directory you wish. I changed it to D:\Program Files for example.
3. Leave the program files on C: Drive as it is. and reboot ur computer

Unfortunately i have been posting this question in the forum for 2 weeks and no one was able to answer. I just needed the path and every1 wanted me to install tweak UI which i didn't want to. After long hours of search I found out the path myself. Hope its useful for some1. :idea:

One may tweak anything. But One should understand the consequences of the result of tweaks. Otherwise tweaking be left alone to experts.
