I want to install new software and transfer files from drive C: to a new
partition E:.  "C:\Program Files\.... is usually the default location for
most new 32 bit software? I will end up with two image viewers and I want to
keep the default for jpeg as it is.  Any difficuties with this type of
transfer and installation?

Yep. Windows programs generally are installed so that the location etc.
information is stored in the system's registry. So, if you move them
around, you'll probably need to manually change all references in the
registry. The better way would be to uninstall the program from the
current place, then reinstall it somewhere else.

Partition Magic (4.0) contains a tool named Magic Mover. It works fine,
scans the programme's "ini"-files as well es the registry.
