Can anyone help me to move a program from the C drive to a
much larger new hard drive (F drive) I added, so as to free
up space on the smaller C drive.

Obviously, I can move the whole folder and files over, and
still work the program by finding the executable and
clicking on it, but I am hoping to ensure that the auto
start functionality still works as well. In this case,
when I put an audio CD in the CD drive, this audio program
starts up automatically.

1) Is there a way to ensure it will still do that, after
moving it? How?

2) Can I also adjust the path and startup links so that I
can still initiate it from Start > Programs also? How?
 
Actually no that won't work (registration issues). Uninstall the programs,
then reinstall them to the F:\ drive.
