Steam Mover, how to move steam games and programs to a secondary drive

I recently got a SSD and found it very annoying that there was no easy way to transfer programs fro one file to another until I found this program. It is very easy and very quick, follow my guide here on how to use and you then you can transfer steam games and any other programs you want from one drive to another very quickly:

My rig: i5 2500k, MSI Z77A G45, Gainward GTX 980 Phantom, 8GB Corsair Vengeance, OCZ ZT series 750W PSU, 1TB HDD, 800D, fully water cooled. I am currently working on modding my HAF 912+ to fit a custom loop, here is the build log: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/165963-project-viridis-water-cooled-haf-912/

Well, that's awesome for programs, but I don't see a point in using it with Steam games if you know a little about storage and paths. 

I just copy/paste the game from one drive to the other in a folder with the same path as Steam Library (i.e. SteamLibrary/common/[game]), then go to the game in steam, right click, install, select the drive where the game now is, and hit install.

Steam discovers all the files and bam. The game is moved. 

Not realllly that hard. Saves go too. Either they stay in My Documents where they always were, or you copy them along.
