if you right click and drag it, when you release, you will be given the option to move

If you try and move your current program files folder, you will probably have some problems. Using Norton System Works it will find the invalid shortcut paths and change them, but I still don't recommend it.

You can change your defaults paths in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion

look for "ProgramFilesDir" and "CommonFilesDir" and change the paths there. That will affect new installations only.

Agrees with j79,
moving the Program Files folder is best done on a new install of the operating system. It can also be done from an unattended install so its in a different location from the install.
