The only reason to install programmes onto the D partition is because C partition is too small and will clog quickly. Programmes added to D are expendable. Usually they will be games or odd Utilities that are secondary to the compters main purpose. A side effect though is that data they generate...

Back again, If I change the install directory to D: in registry as per the Win Tip #552 it seems to stop Outlook express from opening. Just for fun I transfered the Outlook programme to D:/Programme Files and the mail store to D:\ Documents etc. Still no go. I get an error message that says...
