Thanks for the big letters, no idea why.

Yes, a programme can act outside the drive it's installed on. But normally it shouldn't even think about that unless you have told it to. The second part of your last post kinda points, to me, that you actually installed things on "C" and had a shortcut from "E" which would explain a lot, as Frostie pointed out (despite it not only being "older" software" which does that, it is still the "norm" to install to "C" no matter what drive you use with various programmes nowadays. What was the app?)
