How do i keep itunes off of my C drive

Question

so im still going through the problem that itunes wants to be on my C drive and wont go away. i installed it to my D drive, had a problem earlier today with low space on my C and i see that itunes has set itself up in my "my music" folder and its over 4 gigs. no... F no... so i move it to the destination where i thought i installed it, which it did have itunes and other mac stuffs in there. so i copy paste from my C to the D, everything go fine but now its like itunes is fresh from being installed. thats another story, so i see in preferences that it sets a itunes media folder on C as default. ok... so i change that and then go to unF'ing my apps and itunes stuff. and so while im doing this i check my C drive again after i synced my phone and it uploaded the apps and there it is again... and now its a gig. what do i do now? is there a setting that im missing or something? im already ****** enough as it is that it defaults to the C after being installed on the D and now i have to redo everything for my play lists and it seems to have killed off all the apps i had. i didn't sync or apply the apps or anything because this error came up but now there nowhere to be found. is there a way i can recover them? im trying to bottle my rage right now, this has been a major set back. why didn't it automatically save to the partition where it was installed? anyhow, let me know if there's anything i can do here.

The iTunes application is normally installed to C:\Program Files. If you changed the target location during install then the application should have been installed where you requested. That said, various support files may still have been placed in the C:\Program Files\Common Files folder and the user's profile folder.
The iTunes library is normally created in the user's Music folder regardless of where the application has been installed. If you had redirected your documents folder to somewhere on D:\ then the iTunes library would have followed this too.
If you press and hold down shift when starting iTunes you can create a new library or choose an existing one. Depending on how you moved your original library from C:\ to D:\ you should be able to use this technique now to reconnect to your original media collection that you moved to drive D:. Alternatively use the method to create a new library at D:iTunes. You can then move the various bits of media, iOS application files etc. into the *D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\Audomatically Add to iTunes* folder to rebuild the library.
