In general, no. Most programs are too complex to simply be moved.

Theres very little advantage, if any, in creating seperate partitions on the
same hd. If the hd fails you still lose all & if win becomes corrupt you may still need to reinstall the apps. "RedZedSmee" wrote in message ...

The hard drive would actually be 'more' tidy if you left the programs
installed on the system drive. The programs will still be accessing system files and the registry on the Windows drive when they run and this makes everything much more complex. -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience "RedZedSmee" wrote in message ...
