Install google chrome on a non-system disk (drive D, drive E, drive f ......)

Direct removal does not seem to work very well. At least I will not use the method of modifying via shortcuts on the internet ...... ~~~

 

I checked it on google and found that a method introduced by foreigners is quite simple (ER, relatively )...... The following link:

Http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread? Tid = 189c30af17946e9d & fid = 189c30af17946e9d00046f7e5446ecfe & hl = en

 

Another Daniel's article, written in more detail: http://www.bkjia.com/ OS /201110/106724.html

If you can understand it yourself, the following article can be omitted ...... Of course, it's quite easy to understand. At least it proves that my article is still useful ......

 

 

Principle:

If you want to do this directly, you can skip this section. Simply put, it seems that you have used a program

"F: \ Program Files \ Google \ Chrome" (you can specify the directory of the file to be installed)

Maps to the default installation path of google chrome

"C: \ Documents ents and Settings \ Administrator \ Local Settings \ Application Data \ Google \ Chrome"

(This installation path may not be specific. It depends on your computer ......) In this case, any modification to the original path (including installation) is actually targeted

"F: \ Program Files \ Google \ Chrome" path.

You can also say that the two paths share the same disk space.

For example, in reality, it is the safe deposit box installed on the wall in your home, opened by the neighbors from the other side of the wall, and both sides can take, or save money ......

 

Specific implementation:

First download the junction program: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896768 from here

Decompress the package to the specified directory: C: \ WINDOWS \ system32 (the main purpose is to find and run the program directly in the cmd command,

There is no problem in actually extracting the package, but in order to save trouble, do it as required ~~), Remember to extract junction.exe to the specified directory,

That is to say, junction.exe must be directly in the system32 folder,

For example:

There are two methods to call up the cmd command box,

One is: Start Menu --- all programs ---- appendix ---- Command Prompt

One is: the shortcut key Windows + R. In the displayed "run" dialog box, Enter cmd or cmd.exe,

Click "OK" and a black box is displayed.

 

The usage of this junction program is as follows:

 

 

 

Usage: junction <junction directory> <junction target>

Example: junction d: \ link c: \ windows

 

 

You can directly right-click and paste this command in the black box:

 

 

 

Junction "C: \ Documents ents and Settings \ Administrator \ Local Settings \ Application Data \ Google \ Chrome" "F: \ Program Files \ Google \ Chrome" if a box is displayed, click "agree ".

However, this is a little troublesome. It does not create folders independently. For example, in my example, "F: \ Program Files \ Google \ Chrome"

It is equivalent to "c: \ windows", and

 

"C: \ Documents ents and Settings \ Administrator \ Local Settings \ Application Data \ Google \ Chrome"

It is equivalent to "d: \ link", so it requires that both paths must exist, and

"C: \ Documents ents and Settings \ Administrator \ Local Settings \ Application Data \ Google \ Chrome"

Cannot contain any files, that is, the directory must be empty; otherwise, the ing cannot be successful ...... Of course

"F: \ Program Files \ Google \ Chrome"

This is not required.

 

After these steps are completed, install google chrome again. You will find that the new google chrome is installed in both folders above,

No matter which folder you operate on, it will inevitably affect another folder ~~~

 

However, it should be noted that although the two directories share the same disk space, their essence is:

"C: \ Documents and Settings \ Administrator \ Local Settings \ Application Data \ Google \ Chrome" directory shared

"F: \ Program Files \ Google \ Chrome" space, that is, the latter is the real subject of resources, the former is just like a shadow ~~~

 

Postscript:

In fact, I have tried chromePlus and the maple leaf browser before, but I found that its program has many bugs, which are not perfect.

The Installation Method of the directory cannot be learned, so I had to use this method. Fortunately, it was a little expensive and it was successful. But you must know that the last step is successful,

It means that the previous steps failed ~~~

The younger brother is not talented, and the writing is not very good. If you do not understand it, please forgive me. I hope you can find a suitable method for yourself ~~~
