When you install a new Windows application a web of system references binds it to the drive and directory you or the application vendor chose at installation time. If you move later on the application to a different drive or directory, changes are good that it will no longer work because the system is still looking for it in its old location.
Change of Address (COA32) is a utility published in the January 1997 issue of PC Magazine that updates all the systems references of particular application with the references to its new location. COA32 is an all-new 32 bit version of COA, compatible with Windows 95, and completely redesigned for ease of use. It updates references in the INI files, shortcuts and the Registry. You can control how thorough the search will be and you can review a list of found items and reject any incorrect references before COA32 makes its changes. Optionally, COA32 can generate a log file of the changes it has made.
