Mobility Site - View Single Post - Can I move installed programs to SD card or Do I Have to re-install them?

Maybe I missed this some where, I just came here from the land of Palm, I sold my year old Palm Zire 72 and just got a Brand new Dell Axim 51v. In the process of setting up the PocketPC I installed some games on the unit before I got around to installing the SD card. So can I drag and drop through the File explorer or do I have to to uninstall and reinstall back to the SD card.
I build PC's and I know that due to the registry in Windows that moving is a NO NO...

I assume this is the case in the PocketPC as Windows Mobile has a registry, but it never hurts to ask right.

My opinon of the PocketPC is a little mixed as of yet, I had a lot less trouble configuring my Palm to work with the WiFI then the pocket PC and I've yet to discover how to change the interface to a List view instead of the giant icons... but that my current gripe. ANy help would be appreciated
