I've a 40gb SSD which i want to boot windows from I also have a second 1tb slave drive. What is the easiest way to set all program data, program files, user data ect. to be installed and located on the slave hard drive.

easiest way to boot windows from ssd and keep program files and data seperate from windows boot?
 
Just do it manually; remove all OS related files from the HDD and do an OS format on the SSD. Assuming that you already have separated OS from data in partitions but on the same drive, cloning the specific partition to the SSD and deleting and merging that extra partition is an alternative(I say alternative because I prefer the manual way). Either way you choose, you'll only have to do it once. The last time I had OS and data in the same partition was when 80GB HDD was considered new.
 
I did it years ago as described by DMA0991.

A nit pick - you do not have a slave drive. SATA drives are independent. You have a 2nd drive. Master/Slave relationships no longer exist in the SATA world.
