Answer 2

★★ LEARN COMPUTER BASICS ★★

◙ You should have read a great book called "Windows XP For Dummies" (no I'm not calling you a dummy) like I did when I first started. Except back then it was called "Windows 95 For Dummies". Trust me it's a great book and has lots of humor in it as well. There are two of them. You should get both of them. Each one has information the other doesn't have.

◙ Wouldn't it be a great feeling knowing that you will be able to do many things your friends cannot do? A little work now will save you tens of thousands of hours of doing unnecessary and repetitive tasks later. When most newcomers get on the World Wide Web they are in a really big hurry. Then they end up in chat rooms and forums wanting people like myself to explain it step-by-step. Read this book first. Then come back if you are still having a problem.

◙ Don't read this book from cover-to-cover. Instead use it as a reference book. Keep it open while experimenting with your computer. Click on every thing you see with both your right and left mouse button. Also experiment with the center mouse wheel. There are many things it can do.

◙ This book will teach you how to do many many things with your computer. Some of them are copy, paste, delete, highlighting text, making a file, saving a file, how to change things in your computer, how to install software and the list goes on and on. Getting on the web before you learn the basics of your computer is like trying to be a race car driver before you learn how to drive.

◙ Look for this book at your local public library. If they don't have it have them use their username and password to login to firstsearch.org where they can get any book from any library in the world. Only libraries can get an account at Firstsearch.org. So you need to go to the library to search it. When you find what you want have the librarian order it for you. Read it and then return it to them. :)

Answer 3

I can't copy most programs to another drive, sincethey tell the operating system where they reside when you install and how they interact with the operating system.

Your best bet is to install the program on another drive, not copy. during the installation, change the drive letter and path to where you want it on that machine.

However, a lot of programs will only run on the machine after, since if you plug that new drive into another computer, the operating system won't know what to do with it.

Answer 5

What do you mean by program, a program allready installed or a stand alone program.

could use the Move command or copy paste, but if installed program. not good idea to move as there is files all over the place. better of uninstalling and reinstalling to new drive.

Answer 6

You can't if you want it to work. You will have to uninstall it, and then reinstall it into a directory on the external drive. You cannot just drag programs over like files.
