Ooops. One update. The MS Reader Activation had to be moved back. And it is over 200 kb.
That's right, the set of MSReader activation files must reside in the \Windows folder. There may be some obscure registry mod one can do, or an XML file edit perhaps, but no one seems to have reported this. All I know for certain about these is that one can back them up, avoiding having to re-activate over and over if you must hard reset and rebuild from scratch or if you get a new device. Just keep a copy on a card and dump these files back into the Windows folder when you need them, provided it's for the same MSN ID. They're not transferrable between users, as DRM-protected ebooks are linked to one particular ID.
I already had several that have been mentioned. I have moved them w/GSFinder for sometime. Usually works for any program you have installed to BIS or a SD card. Probably for CF memory as well but I save my CF slot for Bluetooth, WiFi, 56K modem, ect. This list really should be kept in a single spot where it is easier to refer to, maybe a "Sticky" that someone could maintain.

I was able to move all .dll files, except those that go with visual basic programs and the visual basic .dlls.
I moved .dll files with no problems for:
MS Reader
MS Reader Activation
Pocket Everquest: War on Faydwer
ESoft's Arcade Challenge
Resco Explorer
Sprite Backup
Icom's 5 Dice Corsair
Handmark's 4.0 Student
Raynne,
Do you want to take responsibility of maintaining the list of "movable DLLs"?
Because your post is the first one, you can edit it to always have an up-to-date list (taken from others' comments)
I read the short list, Im impressed. How long will the special offer be available? Through December I hope cause I've got gift shopping to do. ;)

As is the case for Macromedia's ActiveX/Flash plugin, a directed CAB installation of the .NET Compact Framework will also result in the bulk of installed DLLs to a user-defined location, with no need for later intervention. And of course, for WM2003 there's no need to install this one...
I've had the Flash6 plugin's flash.dll and swflash.dll (total size just over 1.35MB) installed to SD memory on my PPC2002 iPAQ 3835 since the day I downloaded the thing. CabInstl or my above registry tweaks will both make such custom location installs a breeze.
Another program to be added to the list
"clearvue doc viewer"
Also for PocketPC2002 users (are there still any?)
"Microsoft .NET compact framework"
Actually, all the Westtek DLL's work fine from storage. The only problem is, I'll need them in memory if I use a VGA output card. Same with a few other peices of software, such as Microsoft Portrait, if I'm using a camera.
The .NET Framework files work from storage? I'm surprised. Hadn't even tried them.
Just found a bunch of files which DON'T work from storage - msce files (msceimagelist.dll, etc.) cause various apps to have errors. Perhaps if I reregistered them, but not worth the trouble.
Ran into a few more that wouldn't work today. Advanced Explorer, Pocket Informant, and AvantGo (The beta version of AG 2005). I moved all my dlls back to Main Memory for now, I'll start moving them over one by one . . .
