Hello Mehdi, hello Pucho and Ed,

Another way to consider the problem is to choose to move some data/programs from C to D or E.
Note that you must always keep 15 % of the total disk space, available.

To save time, you should clean your disk up (empty the recycled bin, empty the Temp folder, TIF, etc.)

Aren't you interested in moving files to D/E? then read on:
-You could reset the swapfile (which might be rather big -very easy-!)
-You could move "My Documents" (if you move that folder, information in MS-Office settings will be updated)
-You could install the future apps into d:\Program Files (or e:)
-You could perhaps uninstall then reinstall some apps that are easy to install (AntiVirus, MS-Office, etc.).
-You know your system better than I do and can determine some other folders to move.
-You could setup TIF folder (I'm saying set up not move) to D: (easy to do that)
-You could setup c:\Windows\Temp to D: (not so easy).
-You could set the recycled bin up in order it is only in D or E.

Is that sufficient?
If you want to go on, there're some other ways... tell us!
