How can I get ITunes to install on my D drive

I have a Dell laptop that has been a great computer. I did not oreder it, but rather purchased it in a store (hence my problem). The hard drive is partitioned into two drives: C Drive for the operating system and D Drive for all the data. I understand why they did it, even though I don't wholey buy into its need...... Anyway, to the ITunes problem. About a year or so ago, I ran out of room on my C Drive. I noticed that lots of my programs were installed there. I deleted many programs and then re-installed and directed them to my D Drive. One of those programs was ITunes. However, it repeatedly shows on the C Drive. I am not talking about my library, as I have it on an external hard drive and know how to point to it. We have several devices (2-IPhones, 3-IPods and 2-IPads). Over a period of time the C Drive just gets overloaded. I have had to completely delete ITunes twice and then re-install it to clear out enough space to run the computer. VERY, VERY, VERY frustrating.....

I am hoping I am just missing something. I have read that others have this problem too, but I have yet to see any solid answers on this. Other than re-partitioning, and I am nervous about that. t least to do it myself.

Has anybody come up with anything new on this topic?

Cheers,

iTunes itself can only be installed on the boot drive. If you've already moved your iTunes Media folder to another volume, then other than deleting old backup files for your iOS devices - where they're located will depend on your version of Windows - there's nothing else I can think of that you can do to reduce iTunes' footprint on your C: drive.
