Quicken 2009 Deluxe on Windows 7

Hi, Meebers.

Long before the "Program Files" folder was introduced, I started using multiple partitions to organize my computer. When things were still simple, Drive C: was for Windows, D: for Applications and E: for Data. Then I started dual-booting with Win95/NT4 - and my logical organization got disorganized.

For a few years, I dual-booted Windows versions that couldn't read NTFS or FAT32 or vice-versa. But I made sure they could all read Drive E: - and kept installing Quicken there. In fact, I could install a single copy of Quicken from multiple Windows versions (Win98 and Win2K, for example), letting each of them make entries in its own Registry, but sharing the qw.exe and other program files - and a single Quicken fileset. When Program Files was introduced, I continued to use E:\QuickenW for Win2K, WinXP, Vista - and now Win7. When I installed WinXP x64 - my first 64-bit OS - and encountered "Program Files (x86)", I became very glad that I had E:\QuickenW! Both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows can run Quicken from there. ; R.C.
