How to Change the Installation Path for Google Chrome
Though most applications give you the opportunity to change their installation paths, Google Chrome does not. However, where you obtain the downloaded installation file for Google Chrome determines its installation path: if you download and install the application from Google.com/chrome, the browser installs in the "Documents and Settings" folder; if you download the installation file from Google Pack at Pack.google.com, the browser installs in the "Program Files" directory.
