I see that Rick's already answered you, but I thought I'd add my
voice to his. Yes, you can install applications on any partition
that's convenient for you. There's no reason to confine yourself
to C:.
Note, however, that if you've already installed to C: it's not
easy to *move* an application to another drive (it requires
special software, and I've had mixed results trying such
software). The best way to do that is to uninstall it, then
reinstall it wherever you want it.
