Application Mover is an application that can relocate any installed program in Windows operating system. You can change the location of any installed program to the same drive and new folder or to a new drive. It can also change settings of shortcuts and registry values.
The program can be very helpful if you want to free up your disk space or your hard disk has bad sectors (damaged clusters). You can then move installed applications to another error free disk drive that is in better condition. The program is capable of moving any kind of application: games, image editors, audio players or anything that you can find in your “Program Files” folder.
The user interface is as easy as 123. Just locate an installed application, locate a new path and click on the "OK " button to move that application to the new given path.
But the program should be used carefully because you can accidentally relocate system files, which may lead to the system crash. Never relocate any folder with multiple applications in it and there is nothing else you should pay attention to. Application Mover will care for all the system files, subfolders and registry values when relocating an application. It can compare the installer log files and new location of the moved application to make sure that all the shortcuts and features work like before.
