After the Archive wizard creates the compressed archive file, it removes the
application from the folder where it was installed, but leaves the shortcuts to
the application in place. When you click a shortcut to the application in the
Windows Start menu Programs list, or on your Windows desktop, taskbar, or
elsewhere, a message box appears, explaining that UnInstaller has archived
the application and asking if you would like to restore it.
Choose the Archive wizard if you:
• Want to store useful applications that you rarely use.
If you have old games or specialized programs, archive them to free disk
space, but keep the shortcuts and other entry points available from your
desktop.UnInstaller keeps track of applications that you have archived.
Their shortcuts and Start menu Programs list entries remain in place. If you
click a shortcut or Programs list entry for an archived application, you can
choose whether to restore the application.
• Think you might need an application again.
If you are not sure that you want to get rid of an application entirely,
instead of using the Remove wizard and creating a backup file, use the
Archive wizard and retain information.
• Want to free space on your computer by removing an application
temporarily.
If you need disk space to perform a task that requires a large amount of
temporary space, for example, you can archive applications to free the
space. Then you can quickly restore the applications when you no longer
need their disk space.

Using Move

Use the Move wizard to copy an application to a new location, either on your
local computer or to another computer, and remove the application from its
old location. To start the Move wizard, click Move in the UnInstaller window.
After the application is moved, the wizard changes all shortcuts and Registry
entries to refer to it in its new location.
Choose the Move wizard to move an application:
• From a crowded hard disk to a new, second hard disk with more space.
NOTE: You can also use the Restore wizard to restore archived
applications.
