thanks for personal folder

for new aplication, i should modify config files and registry files?

This method works also for windows 8.1?

Nope you shouldnt, especially for large and complex software not. Its too troublesome and takes longer as a reinstallation. Then its more easy to install a larger harddisk and mirror things to this disk and enlarge c afterwards. Then you do not need to move anything and have space again on C.
Win 8.1 for folder migration or software move? It should both work similar there as on winXP.

For  Metro APPs i have no idea.

the registry must be local and is in a fixed location.  Many programs installer lets you change the installation location i.e. defaults to c:\program files\company\program-name but you can change it manually.
