Applications install by default to the C drive, you need to uninstall some
of your software then reinstall, using custom install to the D drive - this
assumes D is a hard disk not cd drive.
In My Documents select properties and move to your D drive
Run Disk Cleanup

It depends on what's on your D drive and if it's been protected by the
computer manufacturer. Could you let us know what kind of system - make and
model - that you have?

Right click (or left double click) on my computer on the desktop. Open your
'd' drive & leave it open on half portion of your computer screen. Similarly
go back to my computer and open ur 'c' drive and keep it on the left half
portion of your screen. Now both your drives are visible and showing the
contents. Just drag the programmes from one drive to another. I suppose that
your OS is on 'c' drive which shud be left alone.
Best of luck 'Blackhand'

If the OP did what you suggest he would have a lot of non-working
programs. You cannot just drag the program folder to a different hard
drive. As has already been posted, the OP will need to uninstall and
reinstall programs. Data can be simply moved.
