I just started OS X Lion (switched from windows) and I have it installed on a 30Gb SSD.
Im looking for a way to change the applications folder so its on a second drive (2 TB) that I have by default and not on the SSD.
Im not sure I explained it right but if you know what I mean help is appreciated.
Thanks.

It's not a good idea to move any of your system files, Library folders or applications from your boot drive. Doing so can cause problems with apps functioning or updating. It's better to move user files and folders and leave the others in their default positions.
