I need to do a system recovery on one of two drives and
I'd like to move as many programs (ones that weren't
preinstalled) like Norton Antivirus to another location
so I don't have to download hours of updates. Can I just
cut and paste them from the program files folder to
another location or will that make them malfunction?

Typically, installing an application also sets up
parameters in the registry. Moving the application files
to another machine usually doesn't work. You just have to
re-install the app.
