With branded laptops/PCs they normally have a partitioned drive D (though on some, this is only a small space/area to store the "recovery image" of the system) and you can easily use "My Documents" to store your documents directly to D drive automatically without having to physically selecting D drive every time you save your data

Right mouse click on the "My Documents" icon on the desktop and then select "Properties" then look at the "Target Folder Location" - this tells you where the default location of the data you save into "My Documents" is - all you have to do to change this to sit somewhere on D drive is click on the middle button "Move" and when the "Select A Destination Folder" windows pops up; browse to the D drive by clicking on the + sign next to My Computer in the directory tree to show you D drive and make sure you create a new folder in D drive to say something like "Users" and create a new "My Documents" in there and then click on OK - after this just click on the "Apply" button (bottom right hand corner) and accept Yes to the prompt that asks whether you want to move all your current files over to the new location - that is all and hereafter whenever you save/store anything into the My Documents folder it will be actually saved to the new location of "D:\Users\My Documents\" in D drive

HTH
