Development information technologies does not stand still, it happens in rapid leaps. And the more complex operating systems are released. Therefore, it is not surprising that developers can get confused and create an update that conflicts with the hardware or simply makes the system unusable.
For newbies
The very first recommendation that any technical support will provide is to reboot the device. And it doesn’t matter at all what manufacturer it is from and what model is used. If an error occurs, you must first try to fix it by restarting your computer. It is worth noting that during long-term continuous operation of the equipment, errors may accumulate and many third-party processes may be loaded. Therefore, installing a new application may lead to a conflict between running programs and the content itself. When you restart the operating system, the device's memory is cleared, its performance increases, and the chances of installing the application increase. Therefore, the user can avoid receiving a message that indicates that the application cannot be installed in the default folder.
Memory
The most common reason for the message that the application cannot be installed in the default folder is the lack of free space in the permanent memory of the device itself. Therefore, you need to do the following:
1. Go to Settings - Applications.
2. Select old applications that are no longer needed and delete them. You should be extremely careful to clean the device of useful system programs and utilities.
3. Go to Settings - Memory and check the available free space. If it is enough, then the message about the impossibility of installing the application in the default folder will disappear.
"Market"
It is worth noting that theoretically the previous method also includes a method for solving the problem, which will be discussed now. If, after freeing up free space on the memory card, the device again says that it cannot install the application in the default folder, it is quite possible that the cause of the problem is Play Market. To fix it, you need to go to your phone settings and select “Applications”. Next, you should find “Market” in the list that opens and click on it.
After its settings are found, you need to click “Clear cache” and “Erase data”. Then you can try again to install the required program. If this method is ineffective, it is suggested to “conjure” with “Market”. In the settings, click on the “Uninstall updates” button. Then you will need to restart the device and launch the Market again. You can then try to install the application again. If this method also does not help, then you should use another option.
Updating the phone When the user once again receives a message that he cannot install an application in a folder, how can he find the reason? Recently, this problem has become relevant. This is related to the version of the operating system. If the OS has received an update or a new version has been purchased, there are several ways to get out of this situation:
1. Roll back the operating system version to an earlier one.
2. Wait for the new update to come out.
3. Install the OS of a different build.
Whatever option you choose, to implement it you should first seek help from professionals, since if the device is unsuccessfully flashed, you will end up with an ordinary “brick”.
Try everything
When looking for solutions to problems with technical devices It’s hard to do without advice from users who have gone through this. Recommendations from different users may vary. For example, some argue that it is necessary to remove and reinstall the memory card. You can try to remove applications on your device using your computer rather than the built-in programs. In addition, you need to check your Internet connection or simply download the required application several times in a row.
Last resort
Already from the name of the subheading it becomes clear that this is the final one. In some cases, installation problems may occur due to unsuccessful synchronization of the device with the account. Let's say when such a process was interrupted unsuccessfully. To correct this problem you should do the following:
1. Go to Settings - Applications.
2. It is worth paying attention to three programs: Google Play Market, Google Play Services and Google Services Framework.
3. The following commands are executed for them: “Stop”, “Delete updates”, “Delete data”.
4. Go to your account synchronization settings and delete all marks there.
5. Reboot the device.
6. Restore synchronization settings and restart the gadget once again.
Then you can launch Google Play. At first, the update process takes a long time, but after this, as a rule, the problem disappears. What to do if this method turns out to be ineffective, and the message about the impossibility of installing the application in the default folder appears again. In this case, there is no other choice but to wait for the release of an update that can fix the error, or you will have to reinstall the system completely. True, there will always be Alternative option. IN in this case it is to give mobile device for warranty service so that specialists can sort out the problem. Finally, you can change the default installation location of the application. To do this, you will have to visit Settings, go to the Memory section and reset the checkbox from internal memory to an external SD card.
Error code 20 indicates that you have a problem related to a general network failure - the main TCP connection was forcibly closed for a number of reasons. Error code 20 can be caused by many situations, but mainly these are compatibility problems between the installed application and the system software, due to which the connection is forcibly terminated. Outwardly, all this looks like a network level problem, for example, interruption of the Internet connection, lack of communication with the proxy server, etc.
Method 1: Reset Google settings Play Store A
Resetting the service settings quite often helps solve problems with various errors. It is done as follows:
Method 2: Uninstall Google updates Play
Everything is done in the same way as in method 2 described above, with the only difference that instead of “Clear cache”, the “Delete updates” button is selected. The application will return to its original version, in which it worked normally before installing the updates. If the problem is indeed new version software or Android device, due to technical imperfections, does not support these updates, then the service will work in the mode familiar to the user. No new features, but ok.
Method 3: Editing the /etc/hosts file
This system file in Android devices is located at /system/etc/hosts. It is used to block access to unwanted resources. Initially, the file contains a single entry localhost 127.0.0.1. Due to the actions of attackers who want to block your Google account and receive money for unblocking, the market address may also appear there. Remove this line, returning hosts file to its original state. For such actions, you may need to obtain root rights. How is this done on various devices we have repeatedly told on our website
Method 5: Uninstall Google account
We warn you right away: By deleting your Google account, you may lose the necessary and important information, so it is recommended to create in advance backup copy(perform data synchronization).
Now you are ready to delete your Google account. When you log back into your device from it, you will be prompted to restore the information from the backup.
But let’s return to the procedure for deleting a Google account to normalize the operation of the market. After creating a backup, you need to return to the previous menu and this time select “Delete” rather than “Sync.” Click on the appropriate button, then restart your smartphone (tablet) and log in to your account again. Usually deleting an account helps get rid of work-related problems Google services and error code 20. If this does not happen, try other methods.
Method 6: Full reset all Android device settings
A full reset (returning the device to factory settings) is a radical and effective method, but it requires preparation. Otherwise, you may lose valuable information. Sync your data - create a backup as shown in method 5 above. Make sure this procedure completes successfully. Now you can go to “Settings”, find the “Backup and reset” section, where you can perform “Reset settings”. After this, you need to restart the device and restore the information using a backup copy.
As you can see, the proposed methods are quite trivial and do not differ from the manuals for eliminating problems associated with other errors when working with Google Play. If you know more interesting and effective options for fixing the error “The application could not be installed in the default folder” (error code: 20), please tell us about them in the comments. Perhaps your method will be the only one for some of our visitors.

What is a working folder?
Documents can be stored in any folder on your hard drive or on network drive. Typically, all documents are stored in one folder so that they can be easily found when you need to open or save the document. Microsoft Windows contains a folder named « My Documents » , which can be used as a repository for frequently used documents. If you work with a large number of documents or with documents various types, they can be placed in folders nested within the folder « My Documents » .
« My Documents » - default working folder
When first opened dialog boxes Opening a document and saving the document after launch Microsoft Word, the default current working folder is « My Documents » . This default folder is the current folder in any installed Office program. In addition, if the panel is installed Microsoft Office, then the folder « My Documents » is also current and opens using the Open document button on the panel Microsoft Office.
To view a list of files in the default working folder when opening or saving a document, in the location bar, click My Documents

Due to, let's say, numerous requests, I decided to start publishing lessons for those people who are weak PC users, but, commendably, want to improve their knowledge. This series of instructions and guides will cover many topics of working with images and other media files, setting up your operating systems, a review of alternative systems such as Linux and the like.
Since my main activity is system administration, then I can publish material and questions from users at least daily. Although, naturally, laziness and lack of time will not allow me to do this. So, welcome to the first mini lesson.
How to set a specific default view in Windows folders 7?
I was asked this question today. Naturally, I pointed out standard way selecting the type of materials in the folder. But the question became different, how to make sure that files in all folders are displayed as a list by default. After going through the settings, I found a way:
Open any folder with files, set the view convenient for you, in this case I displayed everything in the form of a table. After that, click on the menu Organize->Folder and Search Options:
And in the window that appears, in the tab VIEW click on the button Apply to folders
I'll start from afar. Most a good option Windows installation- this is the initial division into several logical drives (most often there are 2). In one of which the system is installed, and in the others everything you need (movies, music, images, etc.). And the correct thing to do would be to “give” a maximum of 100 GB to the system, and divide the rest or leave it on another disk. The wrong ways would be: leave about 30 GB for the system and not share HDD, and “shove” everything into one. After this, the system will need to be constantly cleaned and it will be difficult to determine what is where.
For example, on my 500 GB laptop the hard drive is divided into 100 and 400 GB, respectively, for the OS and my needs. This is approximately of course, because structure hard drives won't let you divide it evenly. And even if you buy an 8 GB flash drive, you will get something like 7.5 GB. But that's another story. You get the point.
But even if your hard drive is divided correctly (at least 70GB is allocated for Windows), then sooner or later the time will come when there is not enough space and Windows will “ask” you to delete the excess. When does this happen to me? local disk where is my data - I myself am being strangled by a toad in order to delete something from films or installer programs. You have to contrive and either delete, or transfer to disks, or to portable hard in order to at least somehow preserve what was (a habit, you know). I don't think I'm the only one who has this problem.
But if this happens to the disk where the system is installed, then it’s even worse (at least for me). It's getting sad here installed programs and you need to decide which ones to “sacrifice” to save the place.
You can, of course, clean what you have using utilities. Clear all garbage in the form of temporary files and folders, the recycle bin, the registry and everything else you can. But sometimes this is not enough and not much space is freed up, but it is enough for the first time.
Now closer to the essence of the article.
For those who don't know, I'll explain. If you think that what you are “throwing” on the desktop, delete files and folders in the trash, save files in My Documents, Music, Downloads, etc. then nothing happens to the space on your system disk - you are deeply mistaken. The desktop is not a separate disk. This is just a “shortcut” indicating a location on your system disk. Therefore, when you load all these places, you are loading your disk on which the operating system is installed.
In this article, I will look at a couple of ways to ensure that such inconspicuous folders as Programs and Profiles are on another drive. Why is this method good? Yes, you can independently choose a folder to save your installed programs and games (moreover, 90% of them ask you to indicate the folder where they will be installed, and the remaining 10% are installed without asking), for downloading music, pictures and other things. But very often it happens that when installing, users simply click on the button Further without even thinking about what is written there (well, and along the way they install other programs from the developer or toolbars in the browser or something else) and in the end everything is installed on system disk. If someone thinks that this is what is needed - that games and programs should be installed in the Program Files folder, otherwise the computer will die and the program will not work, then I will refute these thoughts. It is no coincidence that programs ask where to install them. To put it simply, it doesn’t matter to them where the files will be located, the main thing is that in system files and the registry indicated the path to them.
It’s the same with profiles - often you simply don’t think about the fact that there is a folder with movies on your desktop or download files from the Internet to the Downloads folder. Meanwhile, this loads the disk.
And after the OS writes to you that there is not enough space, you begin to delete programs and games (sometimes necessary), sacrificing them for the sake of space. Or you could just look at the desktop or folders with music, pictures, downloads and other things.
That’s why I’ll show you how to make the default installation of programs and games on another drive, as well as profiles (which, by the way, sometimes also accumulate a lot of garbage in the form of temporary files of various utilities). Having done this once, it will remain until the system is reinstalled.
How to change the default installation path for programs and games to another drive?
Then copy from C:\Users (C:\Users) folder Public (General) in D:\Users .
Go to the Registry Editor (how to do this is described above) and go to the branch HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList. In it you need to change the files Default, Profile Directory and Public
