You can have all your programs on the D drive but if you resinstall Windows on the C drive you still have to reinstall all the programs.
But think about it this way. You have some programs that you have installed before and you don't want them any more but uninstall doesn't get rid of them completely. Now you can get rid of them completely.
To get rid of them completely, you need to go into the registry & check all sections in the registry that have something related to the program to get rid of it completely. I did it a couple times after Tech from Garmin walked me thru so I could do a fresh install for one of their marine charting software. It has been a while but see dirtfarmer's reply above.
