If the folder allows it, you can right-click on it, select Properties, and go to the Location tab. Then hit the Move button at the bottom, select the location where you want it moved, and Apply it. I've moved most of my user folders around. I'd like to move my whole user profile, but Application Data stores all kinds of system data (primarily cache data) that I don't want stored with my data. So, I just get by with moving individual folders.

You will get better performance if the data is on a second drive rather than
a second partition on the system drive.
