I am on Windows and installed the Bitcoin wallet. The block folder seems to grow bigger everyday and is stored on my C drive in the roaming directory. I would like to set this to some other folder on another drive, which has more place. How would I go about doing this?

Asking about how to change the default storage location has been posted many, many times. The future canonical question is probably Bitcoin-Qt setup: Change block-chain file location, settings? documentation?.

I believe you can specify this directory using the datadir configuration in bitcoin.conf.
-datadir=<dir> Specify data directory
See Running Bitcoin.
