Developer's description:

Application Mover is a tool that relocates installed programs from one path to another on your hard disk. Application Mover takes files found in the path specified in the 'Current Path' field (see below) and moves them to the 'New Path' path. Application Mover scans the windows registry for references to files located in the 'Current' field and changes those references to the 'New' path. Application Mover also scans all windows shortcuts in the Start Menu and adjusts path references to the new program location. Finally, *.ini and Install.log files present in the original program path are checked for strings matching the old path location. If found, these strings are changed to the new location. Confirmation dialogs are available if you enable the 'Confirm changes' checkbox (see below). If a file is 'busy' and cannot be changed to the new location, a reboot prompt is offered. Pending changes are then completed after the reboot.

Application Mover is designed to move programs from one path to a different path on the same hard disk or to another hard disk on that same computer. The program works on specify paths (folders). For example, you can move: c:progeditor -> c:oldstuffedit or to a path on a different drive such d:rareeditor. Application Mover is not intended to be a clone utility. Technical users can put the program to use in other ways but the standard functioning of Application Mover is that the physical drive arrangement & lettering should remain constant on your machine.

Very Important: Before you use Application Mover please read through the 'Important Notes' topic (also in the program F1 documentation) for information about the program itself and usage suggestions.

Important - Windows Vista Users: Application Mover does not automatically assign itself 'administrator level' program on your computer. Application Mover must be run 'As Administrator'. Do this by right clicking on the program shortcut and select 'Run As Administrator' to run the program. This should be done even if your Vista user account is one with full access permissions. Alternatively you can manually modify the shortcut properties for the shortcut to launch the program (Right click on the shortcut; Click on Shortcut tab; Click on Advanced; Check 'Run as administrator').

Application Mover is compatible with Windows 2000/XP, Windows 2003, and Windows Vista (all versions). 32-bit and 64-bit (x64) versions are available. Windows 95/98/ME & NT are not officially supported but fully patched versions the program (32-bit) should function on those platforms.
