Hi!

I just installed Web Developer express edition on my Windows 2000 server
machine. I just wanted to know how may I change the default data path of MS
SQL Server 2005 express edition.

If you already installed it, look in this registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL.1\Setup\SQLDataRoot

Changing this will require a restart of the SQL Server service.
