I was wondering if it's possible to transfer programs from one pc to another. Or can a program be transferred to a removable disk from the hard drive and then downloaded to another pc.? Never done it before so......
Thanks.

It depends on the program. If it is anything that requires an install then no. There are certain registry entry and dll file that are not contained in the program folder that are require to be written specificaly for your machine. Howevr if it is a stand alone program is one that is just an exe file like solitare then is may be possible. What program are you trying to copy?
