By default Windows stores all the user's documents, the installed programs and the system files in the C: drive. As a result of this C: drive is the one that gets filled faster than other drives. Once the free space in C: drive (or any other drive) becomes very low, Windows starts to show the above annoying balloon pop up message. How do you solve such a problem? Just read along.
Scenario: The free space in your C: drive is in MB range while any of your other drives (D, E ...) have ample space. Since most of the programs require some space in C: during running/installing, you will find yourself unable to do your daily PC work as you would normally do, in this situation.

Great thing to learn. Dharmaraj
That's a very lame advice - the size of the C drive did not "magically increased" but left unchanged - instead I just created a copy of the C drive, taking away a huge chunk of my D drive... Thanks, Einstein!
@above post,
Windows will stop to work properly when the size in C is reduced below acceptable range. This hack is better than nothing in such cases.
What is the best solution then
I do not mind spending some money
I have 15G in the C Drive and over 400GB in the D Drive
I need to ADD Photos to the My Pictures Folder
Nothing has increased. I done that new folder in my H:/ drive. It has created a folder which has copied all the files which are in C:/ and thus unnecessarily taken the space of my H:/ drive. Anyway, this is something to learn about disk management.
if we dont want any exact copy just want increase size of c then?
thanks a million. u dont know how much respect u deserve.thanks again
