This is a minor detail, but is it possible to set where SL stores all it's data. I installed the game on E:/, but all the data/cache is on C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\SecondLife (almost 1gb).

That location (C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data) comes from the operating system. Following the Windows XP guidelines, Second Life asks Windows where it should put application-generated read-write files, and on your machine, this is the answer Windows gives.
There may be some way to change that location via Windows administrator perferences somewhere, but you'd have to ask a Windows admin guru.

The location is one that a limited user can write program information to. DirectX (running under context of limited user be default) retrieves the local CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA (<user>\Application Data) constant to determine where it can write to.
CSIDLs are numeric values used by shell functions to identify system-dependent or virtual folders. They can be altered, but I do not recommend it, at all.

Ok, thanks for the reply. I did some cleaning up on my C drive (throwing out some old games), and I have space for it now.
