What directory do you install your games to?
I was wondering what directory you all install your games to. I believe that C: program files is the default. Any problem making a new folder in C: named games and then installing them all to there?

I don't have any problem installing (most of) mine to F:\Games\ and so I can't see why it would be any different to C. Most games I've seen use InstallShield and so that should let you stick it whether you like, although I have seen it set up to only allow a certain directory.

It doesn't matter what directory you pick. You can even choose a different partition and/or drive.

Like Force Flow sez, you can put them anywhere. Mine are on my 'G' drive, under the general directory of "GamesAll" - from there I have two more directories: "GamesNewerWindows" and "GamesOlderWindows"

Ok cool, I figured that you could put them wherever you wanted like programs but was just making sure. I figure that putting them in there own folder will just keep things more organized.
