QuickenW registry problem?

I've been using Quicken for a long time, back when the default folder
was QuickenW. I just moved it to Program FilesQuicken but the Windows
registry must still be looking for it in its former location so sounds
don't work and Windows XP can't associate files with it. Any easy way
to fix this or should I just put it back where it was in C:QuickenW? I
am using Quicken 2005 Basic and Windows XP. Thank you.

Somewhere in the archives of this group (Google), I think there
is a registry hack for missing sounds.

As far as associating files, you can modify that in Windows
Explorer: Tools > Folder Options > File Types. Look for the QDF
and QFX extensions.

But it might just be simpler to reinstall Quicken and specify
the folder you like to the installation process.
