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

You need to reinstall them as most programs have registry entries and other system files to work properly.
