This is a really bad practice so I discourage you from doing it. Any application specific files should be under the app's Program Files folder or under Common Files or the User's Application Data Folder.

But, I also realzie that there are few (very few) circumstances where this is a must. All you have to do is right-click your setup project, click View, then File System. In the File System editor window, right-click the "File System on Target Machine" line and pick Add Special Folder. The in that menu, click on Custom Folder. Rename the folder to whatever you want and in it's DefaultLocation property, change it to "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\"
