It appears you haven't been keeping up with Wall Street, lately.
In my view, that's far too many partitions, and there is no rationale
for separating things the way you suggest.

Hello, Ken -
FWIW, I agree about it being too many partitions. I read your article and
enjoyed it. I always do because you have the ability to write clearly,
concisely and logically.
Hello, Ken -
FWIW, I agree about it being too many partitions. I read your article and

In that article, you pointed out that if Windows is reinstalled a new, fresh
registry is created and that if someone had hoped to avoid having to
reinstall programs by having them on a separate partition then that new
registry just messed up their hope. True; however, I'd like to suggest a
way around that...
One can make backups of the registry and use a backup to recreate the
original registry. ERUNT is handy for that purpose for XP/Vista/NT systems.
Win98 users could simply save one of the reg backup files - rbxxx.cab - in
C:\WINDOWS\SYSBCKUP. ERUNT can restore the registry from Windows; Win 98
users would have to do so via SCANREG /RESTORE from DOS. By default (IIRC),
ERUNT stashes backups it makes on the system drive...not a good place to
have them if the system drive goes belly up.
Doing the above would recreate the registry as it was at some point in time
before the new install of Windows; it would have the needed info for the
programs installed on a separate drive and all should be well with them IF
they did not stash files on the system partition as well as the program
partition.
Additionally, restoring the registry would be silly if a bad registry was
the reason for the new install of Windows.
Note that I don't advocate doing this, just offer it as a possible "saver"
for those who felt the need to install their programs on other than the
system drive. Me, I prefer to just make images.
