I have a 75gig C: drive on a system and it is so full I cannot run
maintnence programs on it..I have a D: drive that has 111 gb free..Is
there a way to move files from C: to D: and access from C:?..or maybe
another solution outside of deleting my paid for programs..lol
thanks in advance, Phyllis

Any data file can be moved simply by doing a cut and paste in explorer.
Take care to create a folder structure that makes sense to you so the files
can be easily found.
Some program files can be moved through a de-install and custom reinstall
where the install manage asks where to install the program. Once install in
this manner the operation is not noticeable.

One of the easiest ways to make space on your main drive is to relocate
your 'my documents' folder to the D drive:

As Ken pointed out, you can almost always install programs to the D
drive instead of C. Any programs that you have an installation CD for
can be uninstalled and re-installed to the D drive.
