    Move folders to the desired location (D), then create a shortcut to each of them in your users folder.

    As pbcopter has said just create a shortcut:

    Right click >> New >> Shortcut >>
    Type a name for the shortcut and location to the d:\ drive (e.g. D:\My Music\)

    Hope This Helps.
