How to move the application

When cleaning up the computer, sometimes there is a problem of software moving, but inexperienced users can sometimes cause problems by moving the program at will. Xiaobian today teaches everyone how to move applications.

First, applications that can be moved directly

For some applications (such as Foxmail, QQ, etc.), we can move them directly from one folder to another instead of Influencing the running of the program, for such an application, just move the folder and all the files under it to another folder in “My Computer”.

Second, applications that cannot be moved directly

For such applications, the reason why they cannot be moved directly is because the registry information written when the application is installed contains the location of the program. The folder information and the application's configuration file (usually the .ini file) contain information about the installation folder in the rainforest woodwind xp system. We can move the program smoothly by simply modifying the corresponding registration information. Suppose we want to move the anti-virus software KV3000 from C:\\KV3000 to D:\\KV3000, which can be solved by the following steps:

1. Move the folder where the application is located along with all the files under it to the target file. Folder;

2. Run

Registry Editor Regedit.exe, find the original installation folder (C:\\Kv3000) by “Edit →Find” menu After that, modify it to the target folder (D:\\Kv3000), press F3 to continue searching and modifying until all folder information has been changed. You can also export all the registry first, then use the editing program such as WordPad to open the export registry file, use its “find and replace” function, quickly find and replace, save the modified result, and then import the registry file, which is more convenient and quicker. .

For some applications, there may be a program configuration file (usually a .ini file extension), which is usually stored in the installation folder or C:\\Windows folder, sometimes The file will contain information about the installation folder, and remember to modify it when you move.

Generally speaking, after the above steps, you can smoothly move the application.

Finally, everyone is reminded that before moving the program, please remember to know whether the application can move. If the program can't be moved directly, it is better to use the above method to solve it. Don't decide it yourself.
