Moving Office 200

D

Dave

I have recently had a second hard drive fitted to my PC
and wondered if it is possible to move MS Office 2000 from
my C Drive to my new D Drive. Is this possible or should I
leave well alone.

Yes, but you have to reinstall it and point to your D drive.

Moving it will not damage anything but you may need to change some shortcuts.
If everything works nicely now, leave it as it is. Hereafter, any new
programs that
you install, use the new drive instead of the default (programs/..../....).
Specify custom install and point to the D: drive.

Besides the shortcuts, you would also need to change some
registry keys. Best thing to do is either leave it alone or
uninstall/reinstall to the d drive. I personally run 3
drives, a 5 gig for windows (c), a 40 gig for programs (d),
and another for data/documents (e)

You can just let Windows manage it and set the path to your fastest HD if you have more than one HD.

Easier just to leave it on C.

wonder if thats still a prob. (building new machine here - first in 4 years :-( - sorry about OT of
this q.

OT, but funny you should mention that. When I upgrade to a new HD, I sell my
old one and just have the new as C: and let windows manage it. Others may
have a need for more physical drives, which is their option. I worked on a
computer a couple of months ago that had been divided into 15 logical drives.
Don't know how they ever found anything. (BTW we finally lost our juvenile
deliquent?) :)
