I'm running out of space on drive1 (only 5% free space remaining, too
little for defrag to work well) and would like to relocate the Office
2000 program directories to drive2 which has plenty of space. Is
there an easy way to move everything and have all registry entries be
automatically updated with the new folder locations? The PC is
running XP Pro.
Thanks
Timo

You can't move a software installation to another location and expect it to
work.
Reinstall it on the other partition/drive.
