    Hi ... I have a Sony Viao desktop, and my C Drive is half full (or half empty, I guess) but my D Drive has plenty of room. How can I move some programs over to the D Drive (like AOL, etc.)?

    thank you for any help,

    Brian

    right click on the start button and click explore....then find the folders that u want to copy from your "C" drive....right click them....select copy....go onto your "D" drive and right click and press paste....depending on how big the folders are it may take a while.

    Moving PROGRAMS from one drive to another requires more then just cut and paste files !!! --

    May i suggest the ONLY way of doing it.

    #1 -- uninstall the program
    #2 -- Re-install AND when asked where the installation is to be done -- STATED clearly the path
    of your D: drive

    #3 -- Now , applaud and laugh cause you have done it the right way !


    Note:The installation of a PROGRAM is much more then just putting files in a folder -- it involves creating links to other portion of your Operating systems such as kernell, libraries etc.. .. to achieve what the program is about. -- registry entries are made , and needed for proper functioning.

    Do It Right , and you will be a Happy Camper !

    Take Care.

    Good call Jeanc1, if you followed Mufasa33 method three things will occur.
    1. not work
    2. will need to be remaped and then will be bugy
    3. might work (only if self enclosed, like WinAmp)

    Simply I suggest that you uninstall the program and then reinstalling it in the D: drive. This should solve your problem...
