Recently I have been getting error messages that my C hard drive is full and I need to free up some space. My computer also has a D hard drive, which is currently empty. Is there a way to transfer some programs and files from my C drive over to my D drive? Is there a way to make the D drive a new defualt location for new things I download or install? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Use windows built-in "files and transfer wizard", then just uninstall the programs from the old drive to free up space. Or, just partition the current drive to add more space, that way you don't have to move anything.

if i am correct is your D drive actually a different drive OR is it a partition as i wud suspect (may say FAT under the D drive icon in my computer). if it is a partition the D drive is usually for recovery.
i wud suggest that you cleanup your C drive with software, delete old files etc, defragment your drive, etc.
otherwise buy a new hard drive (i managed to get a 160GB one for £40 GBP) or use an external hard drive. providing you have an extra space in your computer you can add a new hard drive - however windows xp will continue to run on your C drive unless you change it.

If you have the install .exe or disks, just install on spare drive,
then uninstall on the main hd.
When you download, or have something running like a torrent client, it always ask where do you want to keep it,
just point to the spare drive the next time, and change the
prefered place to store in your programs.
