Why are you installing any version of Python 2, rather than the latest version of Python 3? If you are that concerned about security, you should install it for yourself only and in the "C:\Users\yourname" directory, though I will tell you, you will tire quickly of having to type the entire directory chain. Unless you are using a shared computer, security is really not a concern. If you are on a shared computer, you can always create a projects directory under your user directory and keep all your scripts there.
As a side note, the "Program Files" directory is for 64 bit programs, and the "Program Files (x86)" are meant for 32 bit programs. Seems silly to me since Windows 10 knows the difference and really doesn't rely on the location. For a full explanation see here: https://www.howtogeek.com/129178/why-doe...86-folder/

If it ain't broke, I just haven't gotten to it yet.
