stevvie Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 When I update utorrent 3.3 Beta it wants to always install into C:\Users\Stevvie\AppData\Roaming\uTorrent instead of somewhere more sensible like C:\Program Files (x86). Every time I update I'm having to change the path, Installing a program to %appdata% is just plain silly and dare I say Virus like. Is there a setting in the registry that i can change to defualt to program files ?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Installing a program to %appdata% is just plain silly and dare I say Virus like.Then why do skydrive and dropbox do it?Oh that's right, to deal with UAC related issues when self-updating.
