Okay, a slight modification to the instructions above:

1) Exit the Steam client application.
2) Browse to the Steam installation folder for the Steam installation you would like to move (for you, it's probably D:\Program Files\Steam).
3) Delete all of the files and folders except the SteamApps folder and Steam.exe
4) Cut and paste the Steam.exe file to the new location, for example: C:\Program Files\Steam\ (leave the SteamApps folder in D:\Program Files\Steam).
5) Launch Steam and log into your account.*
6) In the upper left corner of the Steam client, click "Steam" > "Settings" > "Downloads" tab > "Steam Library Folders" button.
7) Add "D:\Program Files\Steam" as a library. Remove the default C:\ library.
8) Restart Steam.

*You may have to change the target of any previous shortcuts used to launch Steam.

For installed games, verify your game cache files and you will be ready to play.
