I have a SDD as my boot drive where Windows 7 is installed. The SDD is labeled as the C: drive. All my programs are are installed to the E: drive, a 1TB Western Digital HDD. Many of the games I have installed are automatically saving files (usually the saved games, screenshots and/or replays) to the C: as default and there is no way to change where said files are saved within the games. As a result, my SDD has been quickly filling up with such files. I cannot use the Windows Disk Management tool to change the letter on the C: because it is the system drive. Any suggestions as to how I can either change the drive letters or otherwise fix this problem?

Thanks.

Savegame files are usually stored in your "My Documents" Folder.
You can change the location of My Docs folder.
go to C:\Users\<your username>\
Right click on "My Documents" and select "Location" and and type inn new location, say E:\My Documents and click "move" button. It should move conetnts to foler on E.
If you are the only user i should be ok, if u have multiple user accounts, make a folder with your username as a name in E:\My documents folder
