programs installing on wrong drive

Some programs don't have the option to choose the directory when you download them. The problem is that I have 2 drives, my windows, drivers, screenshots and programs that don't have a directory choice drive (just the defult drive) and on the other drive everything else. My windows drive started out on about 60-80 gb, something like that and its over 100gb. There's no way I have 20 gb of pictures becouse its a quite new system. But its full. Aaand I can't use things like popcorn time (yes it is legal where I live) and teams now becouse they have no option to choose the directory. Can I somehow switch the drives that the defult drive is D or "everything else" drive? Thanks!
