1. Yes, if you insist.
2. Hidden folders called c:\winnt\$*****
3. Check the folders pointed at by %temp%.

However . . . What you're doing is a band-aid solution.
You will find yourself in the same situation within a very
short time. A far better solution is to buy a larger disk
and to clone Windows across. And, of course, you must
keep the OS and the applications on one drive, and all
your data on another drive. Having both on the same
drive is not good server practice.
