Have you got another hard drive?
Or another partition on your hard drive?
If so, I would suggest placing all your programs there.  
What you call it is up to you (i.e. D:\Python, D:\MyPython etc...)

Assuming you've got an env variable set for Python, you should just 
be able to type at the command prompt:

'python d:\MyPython\my_python_file.py'

Or set default to the directory where your python script is and 
just type:

'python my_python_file.py'

Cheers,
Francis.
