Does anyone know of a freeware application which will relocate an
installed application to a new location/directory on the same machine
taking care of all registry and ini files?

Do a Google search for the freeware AppMover32.
It does precisely what you describe.

MoveIt :

"Having a lot of programs on your hard drive is a usual thing today, but
someday such users certainly will face such problem as moving registered
program from one place to another. It is a problem, because almost every
program stores some data into registry (such as used file paths, for
example), and you can't just move program folder from where it is to
another location, because in 90% cases application will not run correctly

anymore.
So was before. Today MoveIT! will help you to solve this problem.

Tested and optimized for Windows2000"

Change of Address will make changes to the registry ONLY. You, then
must make the physical change for locations of the program folder.
Further...
CoA is sometimes not even close in making all necessary changes, sometimes
leaving residue entries in the registry that are invalid.

Except for the commercial MagicMover component of PQMagic (retail),
and the freeware AppMover ... there seems to be no other which does the
job in one single swell-foop, moving and registry changes.

http://www.webattack.com/freeware/sy...nagement.shtml.

Well ... I see where your error was. You misinterpreted the originator's
desire.
He was looking for a Mover program, but which would ALSO take care of any
and
all registry data changes. Your suggested IC does not meet that criteria,
but is
merely a mover program for certain extensions. Sooooo, it wasn't just only
your typo
.... you quoted a wrong program, but also missed the entire premise asked
for.
Pay better attention in future instead of posting quick and snide remarks.
