Moving a program from one HDD to another

[Bill]

How does one move a complete program from one HDD to
another (keeping the program assembled)? Does windows
have a wizard for this? Both HDD's are in the same
computer.

Thanks for the info,
Bill

You need to install the program using the original
installation media.

To elaborate, this is because the program usually makes changes to the
regristry, and the Windows folder. Therefore, simply moving the files in
the program's folder won't because there would be missing files and
parameters.

5 Steps to computer safety:
1) Use a good quality anti-virus, and keep it up-to-date.
2) Use a firewall. The one in XP works fine, but there are better ones out
there.
3) Keep Windows up-to-date. It's your choice whether or not you want the
recommended updates, but the critical updates are just that - critical.
4) Beware of adware and spyware. There are many programs that will help to
protect your computer, but it's up to you to prevent it as well. Make sure
you read the agreement of the software before you install it. It should
tell you if it will be installing any additional programs.
5) Be cautious of attachments. Microsoft NEVER sends out attachments via
email. Always scan all attachments before opening them.
