You can tell your "Documents" folder to be on the D drive.
(instructions above)

Then, just save that text doc to your Documents folder.

You don't.
Not the way you're thinking, anyway. You can't change the C drive like that.

Instead, you simply redirect where things go.

Browser downloads, easy change to whatever other drive and folder you want.
For other things, read here:

For Steam games, you can designate a different drive for installs, and even make that the default:
Steam games location
In the steam client:
Steam
Settings
Downloads
Steam Library Folders
Add library folder
