C: drive low on space

I have a large internal D: drive that I would like to transfer most of the programs to, from the c: drive. And make D: drive the default programs drive?

Why don`t you just take some space free D, it would be much easier and faster. You could use Partition Wizard.

Post a shot of disk management before you start and we could advise you.

If you really want to install the programs on D, just change the drive letter to D: when you install the program.

As I said, if you want to save space on C: you have to uninstall the programs you want to remove, then reinstall them and change the drive letter from C: to D: during the install. The programs will then be installed on D: and your shortcuts will be installed in the start menu like normal.

You should really be moving data off of C and onto D if you need room.

If you could post the shot of disk management it would help.

start>right click computer>manage>disk management

And I gave you the link that explains how to add a picture to your post.
