Windows 10: How to change the directory to which programs are installed?

I've tried doing some research but everywhere I go it says changing where I install files to is dangerous, but my C: drive is full and I want to move all my programs to my D: drive and start installing programs there. Is there a safe way to transfer all these files? Do I have to reinstall everything into a new folder? And how do I safely set the folder to which programs should be installed? My sibling also uses python and has python added to PATH and idk if anything I do will affect that. Thank You!

Alternate Program directory, all programs missing

A list of programs installed? There are programs that can list the software you've installed on your system, and of course there is the Control Panel, Programs and Features list.

 

LDAP Directory Program

I have been contributing to the TPU community for some time now, and it is time for the community to help me a bit!

I have developed an LDAP Directory program that needs to be tested. This program is in what you would call an Alpha phase, but very close to actual production.

To Do:
v1.0 - release bug-free with minor cosmetic / functional changes.
v2.0 - release with the ability to edit the LDAP entries.
v3.0 - possible directory browser instead of manually entering information

This program was created with C#. The code has not been cleaned up yet, but when I get to it, I can release the source. The external directory used is a free directory developed by (c) 2003 Novell, Novell.Directory.Ldap.dll. Examples for entering in the LDAP information is already in the fields under Edit Query, and saved in Ldap.dat.

What I need right now is for people to test the program against their LDAP directory (this should be universal I hope) and return with the following:

- Questions
- Errors / Conflicts received
- Criticism on only the difficulty of use (for now)

This has only been tested on the following:

Novell LDAP directory (complete coincidence for the Novell library usage)
Windows XP SP3
VMWare virtualized servers using w2003

Thanks in advance for all of your help!

Directory Size Utility

Thanks buddy! Yea, this section's not dead. Kreij and I have big plans for this section. I don't want to give nothing away, but we have some bigger projects down the road. *Toast :toast: I feel I'm pretty good at coding with different languages, but I'm well behind Kreij's level of experience with those other Languages. I've been working on those other languages, and soon I'll feel comfortable enough to start, and not feel like I'm holding the project back. *Toast :toast:

Now on to your suggestions.

• maybe you rename Get Folder button caption to something more intuitive? Add Folder, Get Folder Size, Check Folder Size or something like that? Yea, that's been bothering me and I like your suggestion "Add Folder". I'll change it on the next release.
  
• Could you add subfolder files to the right pane? (it can be a tickbox with include sub dirs) I could add this, but let me see if I understand what you're asking. By subfolders you mean add all the folders in the left panel to the right panel? Those folders are all the subfolders in the "Get folder".
  
• maybe you also add export list to excel? I'll add this on the next release.
  
• there's delete file button maybe you add delete folder button too? I'll add this on the next release.
  
• and finally maybe you can add UP button for directories? I'll add this on the next release.

These are all great suggestions! Thanks Drone! *Toast :toast:
