    move files ... rename drive?


    I have all my programs stored on the P: drive but its running out of room and the D: drive is available.

    Question: If I move all the programs to the D:\ drive and rename it to P:\, will everything run from existing shortcuts?

    Is there a simpler migration I am overlooking?

    Why don't you just move everything to the D:\ drive?

    um, that's what I said. My concern is that all the installation shortcuts will refer to programs on the P drive and not operate. I am trying to avoid reinstalling all my programs.
