yes, you can do that.
Download and install Tweak UI from Microsoft's site. Run tweak ui from the all Programs menu on the start bar. Click the + by "My Computer" in tweak ui. You will then see a list item named "Special Folders". Click that. In there is a drop down box that allows you to change any special folder to any destination you want.
Click ok when you're done, and it's set.

This will not change the location of your currently installed programs, only the ones you install after making this tweak.
