How To Change The Windows Source Path

When Windows is initially installed on your computer, it keeps a record of the installation location in the registry. Whether it was installed from your CD Rom Drive or from a network server directory, Windows will note the exact installation path.

But if your network changes or changes are made to your system by adding an additional hard drive etc., Windows won’t have a clue as to where to retrieve its source files. Therefore, this technical brief will show you how to modify the source path to your choosing.
