Is it possible to change where Program Data is located?

[Saffron]

I have a 120GB Solid State drive for my Win7 OS. I play a LOT of video games and at any given time I will have approximately 25 games installed on my 3TB storage drive and maybe my most played game on my Solid State for faster load times.

Here is my issue:
Whenever the games update or I save a game the data is automatically put on the C:\ drive and over a period of time fills up my Solid State. Once it starts filling up I can't update the games because I don't have enough storage space on the C:\ drive. Is it possible to set it to automatically put the Program Data on my 3TB storage drive instead of the C:\ drive?

I don't understand why the updates would install to C:\ drive. But here is the first result in Google referring on how to do this. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949977

I ran across the first link and several like it and pretty much halted there because I don't want to loose windows update as I actually do keep my Windows OS up to date. I don't understand why everything wants to dump updates and game data on the C:\ drive even though they are located on a different drive. Thank you for the links, when I get some time I'll dig through them and try out the method on lifehacker. Hopefully it will resolve my issue.

You should at least change environment variable TEMP from C:\Windows\Temp to something else. Run the disk cleanup frequently, remove windows updates backup installers
