I kinda guessed that was the answer and started making changes as soon
as I sent that message. Uninstalled a couple of items, re-did the
folders for Program files, common files and temp files and then
re-installed a couple of items.
Note: AVG Internet Security Suite defaults to C:\Program Files (x86)
even after the fix was done in the registry. MS OFffice defaulted to
the new location.
Tomorrow I tackle the rest of the move.
So far everything is pretty much the same in Vista as in XP.
