Rule number one: NEVER move apps somewhere outside the app folder… 1/ You can try, if something is not working see 2/, you may have to work up the permissions you have on files… You should do that using an Admin account anyway. 2/ If 1/ doesn't work easily, it may be the simple solution. Note that it's only the apps you reinstall, most plug-ins are safe in their library folder 3/ It'll come in Leopard, One thing to understand under UN*X systems is there's a folder hierarchy, not for nothing. It may be a pain in the a… But it's better undisturbed. The only way you can safely (but geekily) move folders is thru the NetInfo utility, but it's hairy for the rest of us. Now, you can have files on other drives without problems… (but not the apps! just files!) If I were you, I'd try option 1, then if it gets hairy or it doesn't work as expected, I'd do the clean up and reinstall the apps only. Note that some apps may work perfectly and others may s… after option 1, so move and try.
