I updated the Header for You.



I've got a question not concerning backup. I've never been able
get a definitive answer. If I use the Move command to move whole
directories, does Windows XP update the registry pointers for
program and data locations, or do you have to reinstall
everything to get the pointers changed.

I want to create a new partition and make a D: drive for programs
and data, but I don't want to have to uninstall and reinstall
everything to do it.

The move command, actually moves the data from one location to
another. It doesn't leave a copy behind as the "Copy" command
does. Be careful here...

With the cheapness of USB external drives, it would make more
sense to put your data on it than to keep everything on one hard
drive with 2 labels. If you lose the drive, your still losing
your data.

Frank can speak for himself, but I doubt that he's doing it for data
protection. Most likely he's doing it to add one more level to the
filing cabinet for organizational purposes.

And isn't there a program that will let you move stuff, and take
care of the pointers so that it still works? In fact, I know there
is - I just can't remember what it is.

If you move it, you lose it from the original location. If you copy
it, you copy it to the new location and it stays in the old
location, but if you update on file, the other doesn't get
automatically updated. Is this what he is trying to do?

I've done all the guessing I'm gonna do on this, but he clearly said
he wants to move "programs". For that he needs the program I
mentioned.

Did "Clean Sweep" use to do that?
