Hi! I read a thread of messages here from July in which people were asking how to move the Program Files folder to a different partition than the C:\ drive.

I thought I'd post what I have found ...

First method, try read this article...

http://aroundcny.com/technofile/texts/tec042802.html

which uses this program called "Junction"...

A second method is following this article's instructions EXACTLY ....

http://sean-janus.optionpc.com/move-dirs.html

which uses the free "linkd" program from the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit found here ...

Best wishes to you all!
