    You MIGHT be able to using a Registry hack, which I don't recommend. It might also require moving the Program Files folder which, again I don't recommend.

    Even though, almost all programs default to C:\Program Files in their installation, almost all offer the ability to change the directory. So just change the C to an E

    If the Windows directory is on your C drive, then you will always need room on that drive for installs of Win software (DLL's etc). Offload non windows stuff from your C drive to new drive to make room. Then as you install new software, when it asks you where to install, you can point to your new drive.
