My C drive size is 13.9G usable space, I now have worked it to 12.4 used and
1.55 free by cleaning out my recycle bin and droppng my restore capacity to
10%. Moving programs to D drive. Do I have to remove and
reinstall to do this, I have numerous programs such as PinnacleStudio, Quick
Time, Itunes, DVDxCopy etc. And do I show the location as D:\ Program Files\
with the remainder the same. Do I create this folder (program files) in the D
drive before I start.

You're going to have to uninstall the programs and reinstall
them on D. Keep in mind that not all programs will give you the
option of installing them on a partition other than C.

It probably wouldn't hurt if you created that the D:\Program
Files folder in advance but I've found that the first program
that let's you select the D drive as the installation location
usually creates the folder for you.

Good luck
