How do I change the program files directory?

Problem solved, found a Microsoft utility that does it.

Click the Start button. Click the Run command and type REGEDIT in the Open text box. Click OK.
In the Registry Editor (Start | Run, type regedit), go to the following Registry key:
HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
In the right pane of the console, right click the ProgramFilesDir entry and click Modify.
In the Edit String dialog box, type in a new path, such as F:\Program Files (that would set the new default location as the Program Files folder on the F: drive). Click OK.
Close the Registry Editor.

LOL I just noticed that Outlook Express doesn't work when the program files is changed. I don't use Outlook though.

Hmm, thats strange. I mainly use Outlook XP but I also use Outlook Express with no problems at all. I am running XP Pro.

Yep she don't work no more. I think I have to move the folder to the new program files thing before it will work. I won't do that until I actually use Outlook though.
