    I am running out of space on my C: drive so I want to move some or all of my program files to my D: drive, even if I could just move some of my larger games. Would prefer to not to have to uninstall and then reinstall if possible. Whats the best way to do this?

    You can do it manually by creating symbolic links or use SymMover.

    use treesize or spacemonger to see what's using up space

    ccleaner to remove the obvious crud

    uninstall and reinstall only the very largest programs to D:

    It's easier to move your Documents folder. Could save you mega gigabytes if you have a lot of media files stored there.
