show program path, move program

I would like to see the installation path of programs. My problem: my HD C: is very full. I have to move programs towards D:.

Now I have to change between explorer and cclean.

A "Move-Feature" for program-files (complete with registry, dll, etc.) would be very helpful too!!!

warm regards

CCleaner being a cleaning tool I just can't see Piriform doing that. Sounds more like something a specialized software would need to do, and who knows it may already be in existence. And if ever doing it making a complete backup disk image before the big move would be very wise!

You could probably use disk imaging software to move most of what you want, although I don't know about it creating proper changes to the registry, etc.

I used Teracopy to duplicate on non-system partitions some folder parents such as

$hf_mig$

ie7updates

Hewlett-Packard

ServicePackFiles

I386

My Music

Then I deleted the originals from C:\, trimming C:\ down by 2 GB.

Then I replaced the original parent folders with Reparse Points that redirect to the new locations.

Reparse points implemented with the Junction Point option in the free version of xplorer2_lite.

There are other tools that can do this.

I have NOT relocated stuff that is :-

Often needed and would have degraded performance if held in a partition remote from C:\; or

Is needed for Booting up or otherwise essential for adequate operation.

(I use the H-P printer twice a year)

I am confident of my partition backup images that if all partitions are wiped out then :-

I only need my Boot CD to restore C:\,

I then have a free choice of restoring the other partitions from either the Boot CD or under Windows using only C:\.

I have not needed to fix the registry.

The only applications to recognise the changes are :-

my Defragger which no longer thinks that I386 etc needs defragging when C:\ is defragged, and

Partition Imaging (Acronis and Macrium) which carefully capture the Reparse Point linkage but exclude the relocated files.

I suspect that CCleaner will NOT be like Acronis etc.,

and will act as if the relocated files are still present on C:\ and will clean them.
