Just be aware that any saved 'map sets' (.gdb files) will be invalidated
if the path to the data files ('loc' registry entry) changes, and
mapsource will bleat about needing the product reinstalled. However if
you delete the moved maps from the offended 'map set' and then re-add it
(from the new location) peace returns.
