  1. In program files: Where is the right click "move" file feature for moving files to...


    Under program files, it use to have a "move to folder" when you right clicked a file, where you could pick which folder you wanted to send the file too, but I cant find it, and it is aggravating not being able to move files to and from diffent folders quickly. I either copy paste the file, which requires navigating to the destination folder which is like 5 clicks away, when it use to be right there. Surely MSFT didnt remove the function, right?

    Are my Registry Files all legitimate programs?

    Isn't there a web tool whereby I can check if programs listed in my REGISTRY FILES are legitimate programs?

    I want to move "Program Files"

    OK the steps as I have performed them (note that F: was my destination drive):

    #1 Install "Windows 2003 Pro Ressource Kit".

    #2 Go to DOS prompt and perform the following: xcopy /s /e /h /r /k /o /x "c:\program files" "f:\program files". This will take a while as it copying quite a massive amount of data from one disk to the other.

    #3 Compare both "c*Stick Out Tongue In program files: Where is the right click "move" file feature for moving files to... :program Files" and "f*Stick Out Tongue In program files: Where is the right click "move" file feature for moving files to... :program Files" for bytes count and files count for a match.

    #4 Reboot in safe mode as system administrator

    #5 In dos prompt, enter rd /s "c:\Program Files". It worked, except for around 10 files (NERO and Acrobat) that I got an "Access Refused".

    #6 Perform a rename "c:\Program Files" "c:\_p" to fix temporarely the situation, before linking the newly created "F:\Program Files".

    #7 Now go to where the new tool resides by typing cd "F:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\", still in dos prompt.

    #8 linkd "C:\Program Files" "F:\Program Files" (link the newly created "Program Files" back to C: drive)

    #9 Reboot Windows

    #10 Finally, delete the last bits of the previous setup located in "C:\_p" using Windows Explorer

    Tada

    It seems to work. I will try see if when I install new programs, that it will effectively put them in F:. The way I will see that is if I install a program, will the disk space in C: reduce as much as the install files or will it be the F:.

    Anyway, for anyone else who would be tempted to do this, it seems rather simple and doesn't break the configuration.
