My HDD is partitioned into two parts. Currently, the folders in Library (Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos) is on C drive. How can I move those to D drive? Is it just a simple matter of copy and paste? Current save locations point to C drive Documents folder. Will those automatically change when the folder is on D drive?

Right click on the library you want to change (i.e. Documents, music, pictures) in your explorer window and select properties.
This will bring up a window that allows you to add/remove library locations.
From here you can re-map to the locations you want.

You don't need to move anything, just create some folders on your D: drive and include them in the appropriate libraries. You can then change the default save location to your D: drive folder and set it to show first in the library list.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v608/steviet/properties.jpg is what shows up when selecting the Properties option. Where do I go from here?

Remove both of the current locations by clicking on each entry and then click the 'Remove' button.

Then click on 'Include a folder' and then navigate to the appropriate folder that you want to be for that specific library.

Okay, managed to change the folder locations.

How do I get rid of these kinds of things - http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v608/steviet/folder.jpg - showing up in each folder?

Most of the people above have specified correct solutions, read them carefully :)
