Or is it better to just uninstall and install in a different directory? Thanks! The only reason I ask is cause currently CoX is taking up alot of space I can't afford on my C:/ drive anymore. (Test and Live servers installed) -Hawk |

There is quicker way to move it to different directory if you aren't afraid editing registry.
Coh registry settings are located in the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cryptic\Coh"
You need to change "Installation Directory" to point to new CoH directory. After that you only need to update "Target" and "Start In" in the shortcut to point to new coh directory as well.
That's it.

In fact, I'd prefer this method anyway. Using Bill's re-installation method (or even the stand-alone NA CoH registry installation program) may result in some of the graphics options that are saved there being reset to default.
