I'm sure this is probably what some of you would consider a stupid question, but I'm kind'a new. Is there some way to easily transfer all of the applications I have loaded on my CF card to a my SD card in my Maestro. I really don't want to have to reload everything if there is some easier method. Thanks for any help you can offer.

You can just copy them (using File Explorer or the desktop Explorer to do it).

BUT you will need to make new shortcuts to all the programs since they will no longer point to the right spot.

(You do that by copying the program executable and doing a "paste shortcut" into the StartUp/Programs folder

Keep in mind complex apps may fail if you just move the stuff and fix shortcuts. Apps like Pocket Mindmap, Adobe and hundreds of others register themselves in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and other places with .exe locations for file associations.

Safest bet is to uninstall/reinstall.
