I've just installed Windows 7 onto SSD. Is it possible to put some programs on this drive and some on a 2nd hdd. also what about temp files, can they be saved to hdd, would like to keep my SSD clean and junk free using it only for os and a few other progs, any help advice appreciated, thanks
 
When installing software, just change the install location during setup. If you use it often, you should install it to your SSD. Stuff you don't use often, or anything massive [like games] may be better off elsewhere. I like to install some games to my SSD if I know I will be playing it a lot.

Temp files should stay on the SSD. Temp files are used while programs are running, so it would be silly to move them to a slower drive. Just use a program like CCleaner once a week to clean out the junk.
