So I bought a ssd the other day and just got around to installing it. Its a 120gig ssd so I do not have enough space for all my program files so my question was how do I move program files over to my terabyte hdd?

You could create a folder in the D:/ (or whatever your letter your drive is) and just redirect it to the program folder when you are installing applications.

or

Why not just clean out your drive and install Windows again. put all your big stuff on the HDD and keep the SSD for everything.
