Moving Program files

I have partitioned my hard drive in 5 partitions and would like to move the program files from C: to I: , so when I download a program it will install in the I: partition. I would also like to have My Documents moved to the same location. Thank You

For moving the Program Files directory, take a look at this.

For the My Documents directory (in reality you want to move the entire "Documents and Settings" directory), take a look at this

And this looks like a way to do both.
