Local hard drive was Drive F: problem fixed, but paths are still a mess

When I installed Win XP Pro, I was slow to recognize
that my local hard disk was Drive F:. I finally realized
it after I had installed several programs. I managed to re-
install and correct that problem and my local hard disk
now shows as Drive C:. However, several installed programs
still show up as being on Drive F:. I think this is also
affecting some of the files in the Help system ( I get
"Cannot display this page" errors). I think this may cause a
problem at some time in the future if I decide to upgrade
any of these installed programs. So my question is,
How do I get these installed programs to realize that they
now reside on Drive C: without completely wiping the hard disk
and doing a complete reinstall?

Thank you.
 
Hi,

Uninstall and reinstall the programs.
