Another possible solution: create a .bat file with something like this:

subst D: C:\Ddrive

Within the folder Ddrive, place your folders that you want to be treated as 
though they are on D:

The .bat file could be placed in your startup folder so it runs every time 
you boot the computer.

One advantage of this is that it would go beyond just Stata, i.e. material 
that is on both machines can be in the D: drive on both machines.
