My (often faulty) memory of recent OOo installs on Windows is that I was not offered a choice of directory when using a standard (default) install. If you knew how (custom install), you could do it, but most users don't know that, and many have no clue which might work best for them because they don't know the potential consequences of their choices. --Jean
