I hope someone can give me a bit of help here.
I bought an RS-702 about 6 months ago. It has a 20 gig c: drive and a 120 gig d: drive. Whenever I save any pics or music or whatever it defaults to documents and settings in my c: drive which is now full. Is there an easy way to change my default to the d: drive instead of having to go into file then save as?

Welcome to Club Vaio paulsharp.

I suggest that you move the My Documents folder to the D drive.
To do this, in explorer, right click in the My Documents folder and select Properties. Click on Move, in the next pane cluck on the + next to My Computer, single left click on the D drive to select it and click OK.
This will free up space on your C drive and also avoid grief if you ever need to recover your system as the D drive us unaffected by a restore.
Anything that you save to My Pictures, My Music etc., etc. will automatically be saved to the correct folder on the D drive.

Close any programmes that may be using that folder, including your desktop ( change your desktop picture if it is in that folder) and try again.
