To Lionel and Al,
FWIW and IMHO...
I advise my clients to retain the old programs on their origianl drives
and move the data to the other drive. New programs can be added
to either drive....
I know... This doesn't address the problem of the registry and unnecessary
entries...
When the next operating system...Win NT 5.0 comes along that will be the time
to re-install everything it Microsoft hasn't solved the redundant registry
entries
by then...
Cheers
Hugh
