I made the following Registry change so that the default for My Pictures
will download to Drive D:

Original Key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current
Version/Explorer/User Shell Folders

I changed the entry from:
%USERPROFILE%\MY DOCUMENTS\MY PICTURES
To:
%USERPROFILE%\D:\Photos

Everything worked well, the new folder on Drive D became the default folder.
However, whenever I tried to install any new programs, I would get Error
1324 the path D:\ contains an invalid character.

Is there any way I can make D:\Photos the default folder to replace C:\My
Documents\My Pictures and not get Error 1324? Thanks for any help.

Change this (%USERPROFILE%\D:\Photos)
to:
D:\Photos.
