It differs between applications. If you are downloading files using Firefox you need to click on the Tools menu, then Options and choose Always Ask Me Where to Save Files.



If you are using peer to peer software like Limewire or Utorrent then there are setting within the application where you can set the folder, and drive, that it downloads to.



If you want to move the files which you have downloaded to your C: drive you can simply create a folder on another drive and drag the files to the new folder.

You will need to have another drive to do this though.



Defragmenting tip: It's a good idea to defragment regularly, especially if you edit files a lot, e.g. every month. You will need 10-15% of the drive to be free for it to run efficiently.

Defragmenting will not clear additional space as it just puts all of the separate parts of a file next to each other (a little like completing a jigsaw puzzle), so Windows doesn't have to access lots of different parts of the disk to open one file. This will, theoretically, speed up your PC.How can I relocate my movies and everything away from Drive C???????
try dragging and dropping to another file
Well, first you did not say what other drives you have on your machine.



If you have a second hard drive, either internal or external, you can change the default setting for downloads to the second drive. I always create a folder called Downloads, and drop everything in there. :Make it easy to both find and to scan for viruses or spyware.



The default location can be changed by going into the preferences in your browser.



IF you do not have a second hard drive, but do have a DVD burner. You can take items you have on your C drive that you rarely use but want to keep, and move them onto the DVD drive. I would recommend that you use a third party burner software, like Nero or similar, at the burner software built into windows leaves a lot to be desired.



Move up to 4GB of data and files over to the DVD at once. Best to use DVD-R disks and not the DVD-RW. RW disks can be erased by accident, and do not hold up over time as well. When you do the burn, be sure to check the box/option to verify that the files were written correctly. Check the disk after you burn it to make sure things still play or open as before, but from the DVD instead of the C drive.



Now you can delete all the files you moved onto DVD from the C drive. Then repeat this process with the next 4GB of files.



Once you have moved, and deleted all the files you do not need regularly, you should defrag the C drive again. You now should have much more space.



If you are moving files to a second hard drive, by dragging and dropping into folders on the second drive, you will still need to delete the files from the C drive, and then defrag the drive.



If you do not have a second hard drive, you can purchase one for fairly reasonable prices. An external USB drive may work best, as you can then also use the drive to take files to another location. And access the files by plugging the drive into a USB port on a different computer.

IF you have more than one drive installed on your PC you can cut and paste from one drive to the other. IF you do not have more than one drive you can purchase an external Hard Drive from a retail outlet like Best Buy, Comp USA or any other store that sells tehm. They vary in size from 100G to 1 terrabyte now and cost anywhere from 30 dollars to several hundred. They hook up with a usb and do the same thing as your internal hard drive. You can move all the files you want to keep to the external thereby freeing up you PC's Internal Drive.



The reason your machine will not defrag is that the drive is too full from what you wrote. You need 15% free for the defrager to run.



Good luck
