How to adjust Google Chrome settings: default downloads of software and apps should go into 'D', not 'C' drive?

Also, how to confirm if Google Chrome has in fact been made my default browser and of course that any new application (and other) download I make upon clicking links while surfing will happen through Google Chrome alone?





In other words, want to completely ensure that the 'C' drive does not get burdened with more downloads, temp or permanent.|||How to make Chrome your default browser:
