[QUOTE="Local Host, post: 812136"] Chrome and Firefox default location is in the %appdata%, in fact there's been a problem for years with CCleaner due to Firefox leaving leftovers in the %appdata%. You can only get Firefox in the Program Files when you setup for multiple users, while Chrome does it's own thing. Some Chromium Forks like Vivaldi included the option (same as Firefox), but it's still setup by default to be installed per user in the %appdata%. [ATTACH]212952[/ATTACH] I have no reason whasoever to redirect my program setups into my %appdata% folder, in fact those folders are normally used to keep configuration data (per user) for the software, not to install software in there like Google and Mozilla do.
