Moving program files off RAID array and de-RAIDING

A couple of years ago I built my daughter a dual processor PC with a
RAID 0 array for use on her video production course.
Now she's moved on to Graphic and Web design, so she brought her old
computer home and swapped it for the AMD 64 bit machine I built last
month.

I want to de-RAID the ex-video editing machine and return the drives
to a more fail-safe configuration. I already had/have system C:\ on a
standard IDE HD but I originally put the program files folder on the
RAID array to aid in speed of access.

What I want to do now is move the program files folder to a partition
on the standard drive so that I can reformat the RAID array and
separate the drives.

Can I just make a copy of the registry and do a search and replace to
re-define all the old references to"G:\Programs" to the newer location
"D:\Programs" then move the Programs folder to D:\ and overwrite the
older registry with the new one?
Or, is it more complicated than that?
TIA
