Well, you could try the cliche solution to problems on machines with big
disks, the good ol' VirtualHDIRQ=False.  But even if you don't get it to
work, there is a *much* faster way that using the 'new' option in the
Program Manager.

Open up the Program Manager and the File Manager simultaneously.  Find the
executable files in the File Manager, and just drag them over to a window
in the Program Manager.  This will automagically create an icon for them
wherever you dropped it.  If you don't like the way it turned out, you
can always change it with the "Properties..." menu item.
