I currently have an SSD running my OS on it, and a Terabyte HDD running games and stuff. The problem is when I go to download something, it always defaults to the SSD which is the C: drive in my case. I want it to default to the D: drive so that my SSD doesn't get full as it was only intended to run my OS. I've read many forums and can't find an answer that fits my situation.
