Hey dudes. So after my little fiasco with my computer, I decided to partition my harddrive into a SYSTEM drive and a DATA drive. This way the system partition won't get defragged. And if it screws up, I won't have to worry about taking my harddrive out and copying files to a friend's system. I can just format the system partition... But enough about that - does anyone know how I can move the program files folder from the default partition to the other? I could just sorta make a new folder on the D: drive, but lots of stuff by default sticks stuff into C:\Program Files. I found an article on the MS knowledge base for transferring My Documents... just gotta handles the other folder.
