John Esmay

I have Office 2000 Pro, retail version, installed on drive C: and want to
move it to the new drive D:. The operating system is XP Pro. Any advise?
Thanks

Such programs cannot be guaranteed to work for all apps.

Safest way is to copy all the relevant files on C to corresponding
directories on D, then uninstall on C and re-install in the directories on
D.

Note that if you re-install Office, you will also need to re-install certain
other apps, e.g., if you have it, the full Acrobat product.

If you just copy or move it you still have the problem with all the
shortcuts. INI files, and registry entries.

One program I've found that helps when this is attempted is COA2.ZIP (Change
of Address) from the PC Magazine web site.

It will change all the above from the old location to the new location and
I've been using it successfully for years.

Of course, it is still "Use at your own risk"
