Answer 1

You need to change where your files get saved to for each application separately sadly. To change the location of where files are saved you need to go into the settings or preferences of the application and change where the files save to.

If you would like specific help in regards to each of your applications that you have on your pc to get the hang of it or if you have difficulty doing this post a thread on my forum at http://wired.profusehost.net/forum.

No C:/ is the primary drive for all Disk Operating Systems.
D:/ is normally a patitioned drive which is really the same drive that has alocated a portion of the same drive for storage. If your C:/ is full you need to go in and transfer items from C to D to gain more space.
In some cases the letters that are used are prefixed and in other cases it will let you choose the letter you want to use.
