Default Can I move these folders to different locations...

Hi, I was wondering if I could move certain folders from my C:\ to another folder like C:\Current Drivers.

I would like to move C:\Brother
C:\NVIDIA

The brother folder is the drivers for my printer and the Nvidia folder is the drivers for my graphics card, would i need to make any changes to the registry letting windows know where these files are, or could i possibly re-install the drivers and maybe it will ask me where I want to install them.

Thanks for your help,
Obsidian

Hey Obsidian,

I know that Brother printers require it's own temporary folder, but I'm not sure where this is, but I'm sure these are just the installation files for the two. The NVidia drivers don't require it's only folder, and all it's drivers are located in c:\windows\system32. To verify, take a look in the folders, you should see a setup.exe file. If you do, then you'll have no problems moving it to wherever you want.

Hey thanks for this, turned out they were just the extracted setup files from when I installed the drivers along time ago. Moderator: You may delete/move/lock this topic as it is solved.
