This is wat I found somewhere.
Sign out from the account, and the next time you sign in, on page 2 there will be advanced setup which lets you change the location.
The exact thin with details is given here.

Edit 2: This method probably doesn't work anymore. Leaving the answer for reference.
Edit: Use with caution, doesn't work for some...
Following procedure doesn't require you to delete and redownload the Google Drive folder. As found in this thread:
- Quit Drive by selecting its icon in the menubar (taskbar on PC) and clicking 'Quit.'
- Move the Google Drive folder to the desired location.
- When you open Drive again, an error message will be in the Drive icon menu saying that it cannot find the Google Drive folder. Click on that message.
- Click 'Locate folder' in the window that pops up, navigate to the location you moved it to, and click 'Reconnect.'

How can I change the default location of the folder of Google Drive to the drive root? In this case, D:?
Where in the regedit, or which config file this info is saved?
