Steam defaults to putting everything in that directory tree, and, while it lets you install games on other drives, I haven't had good experience with that.
I trust no one here is silly enough to use the built-in administrator account for everyday use, that's literally unsafe hex.  |
There's a pretty simple way around that, don't install in the Program Files(x86) directory. I install all my games on my D: drive to avoid any problems with windows. And if you don't have multiple drives/partitions, installing Steam to C:\Games is the next best thing.
Another option is to use JSGME. Its versatility makes it my program of choice for adding mods to many of my games. It's easy to install and uninstall and you can have as many copies installed as you want where you want.
