I don't want 12 gigabytes stored on my boot drive. Can I change where the Bitcoin-Qt stores the block chain?

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?.

You surely can. Just add -datadir parameter to the command line, when starting bitcoin-qt. For example:
bitcoin-qt.exe -datadir=D:\BITCOINDATA
