The same thing would apply with those applications IF they
were installed on the C drive.
This is not a hard rule. Some programs you can install on
one drive, and then move the install folder to another
drive, and it'll work fine. Others, not so.
For example, I use Pocomail for my email, and Firefox for my
browser. Both of these apps, they were installed on my D
drive (where I install my applications). I can move any one
of these two to another drive, and they will work fine. They
don't rely on having a static install location.
On the other hand, if you try and just move the install
folder of Internet Explorer and/or Outlook Express... well,
you're in a heap of a surprise.
So, in general, yes, it applies to those programs you have
there. The general rule is: if you went through a procedural
install, then you shouldn't move them. Will it work if you
DO move them? They might... but, again, depends on the
application.
