Computer help: Moving applications from C to D partition
Moving applications from C to D partition
by OZGOD - 12/7/06 8:46 AMG'day all. Is there a program out there which specifically moves applications from C to D partition and updates all shortcuts/registry entries/Start Menu etc? I'm running out of space on my C partition but have quite a bit on my D partition. I'd rather not use Partition Magic to change the partitions - instead I want to move all non-essential system apps from C to D and leave C for things like Windows or key applications.
I tried using System Mechanic 6's Program Relocator but it takes forever to search through the entire registry (eg over 20mins searching to move a 20MB program). Is there a dedicated app out there which is quick but also updates registry, shortcuts, start menu etc?
Cheers for any help.
None 100%

The best option is to uninstall the programs, and then reinstall them on the other partition. Your files and setting should remain intact, so the amount of time required should be less.

If worse comes to worst I'll just delete them, but if I could move them that would be my preference.
As stated none are 100 percent BUT...

Essentially it makes the alterations to the Registry and you make the physical move of the program and its directories.
Very inexpensive too.
