I'm running XP on a split hard drive, C and D. All of my program files are on C and it is full. There aren't many other big files on C. The D drive is only half full. How can I move program files from C to D so that XP can find them and they work properly?1 person needs an answerI do too

You cannot, without uninstalling them and custom installing to D. (Programs that is)You could use a third part tool, eg Acronis Disk Director to merge the partitions, if D only contains data, other wise shrink D and enlarge C (all with the tool)

you can uninstall any program off the c drive and then reinstall them "to the d drive but this is teadous and has no real benefit.however there are other options you can initiate to make room on the c drive.option 1: you can move the "my documents" directory from the c to the d.in doing so, you will move all of your personal documents, pics, music, etc off the c drive.simply right click on "my documents" and open its property page.you will find the option to relocate the directory by entering the new drive letter.afterwards windows will automatically move all the files to the new location and set the new defaut to the d drive.option 2: you can move the internet explorer / browser temporary folder to the d drive.option 3: you can set the environment variable to both "tmp" and "temp" from the c drive to a single folder on the d drive, like d:\tempcreate a new temp folder on the d drive then"Right click My Computer, select Properties and then the Advanced tab - 'Environment Variables'"option 4: you can move the virtual memory page file to the d drive.i have used the above methods for many years and without any problems. in my opinion the most valuable option above is number 1. if by chance the o.s. on the c drive fails or becomes corrupted, you can reinstall the o.s. and not worry about loosing your personal files that you reloacted to the d drive. also, making a backup of only your d drive will be an easier and quicker task than backing up the entire hard drive including the o.s.db·´¯`·...¸> DatabaseBen, Retired Professional - Systems Analyst - Database Developer - Accountancy - Veteran of the Armed Forces - @Hotmail.com "share the nirvana mann" - dbZen ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > >
