Move iw-store from one drive to another on the same server

We would like to move iw-store from c: drive to d: drive due to space availability into c: drive.

Not sure what should be steps/check to make these changes.

Easiest way to do this on Windows (assuming you're moving ALL stores) is to change the content store path in the registry. Search for "iw-store" or whatever folder name you're currently using. Don't forget to stop all IW services before you do so.

To be a bit more preceise:

Stop all Interwoven Services
Move entire store directory
Change registry setting (also check for any references in iw.cfg - though I think the registry is the primary if not only setting)
Check any custom code that references the store directory with hard-coded paths (not too likely, but possible)
Restart all Interwoven Services - or just reboot the server
Verify results

When you move from one disk to another, you must preserve permissions. This is a problem in way too many migrations.
