Why not, and are you sure?

You may try to avoid putting executables in `Program Files', but if
you have not changed the value of 

  HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ProgramFilesDir

then Windows still thinks you want to put files there.  The same is
true for subkeys of
 
  HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
