It really doesn't matter much. What program are you using and what kind
of device to program the chip? I'd HIGHLY recommend the AVR STK500. It
is relatively easy to use, interfaces with AVR Studio perfectly and
programs all the DIP package AVR's.

Some of the questions you're asking seem to be the most basic questions
about using a computer. The free Atmel AVR Studio installs itself on
your computer, as a default in the Program Files directory, but it allows
you to override that. I had a computer with several partitions and put a
separate Program Files directory on the D drive. I put a lot of my
programs in there.
AVR Studio also makes subdirectiries where it stores the assembled
programs and HEX files that are used to program the device. If you use a
higher-level language like C to write your programs, you can put the
resulting HEX files in one of those directories and use AVR Studio with
the STK500 to program the chip.
