Thanks Ekrem. Every time I see that option, I forget about it. :)

Open Enterprise Manager and connect to your SQL Server 2000 Instance. Go
to Server Properties by right clicking on the Instance name and go to
"Database Settings" tab in the SQL Server Properties window. You'll see
the default data and log directories setting at the bottom of the window.

You can change the default locations of your new databases using this
setting.

I think I'll stick to righ clicking for now. That works, I managed to
copy the database I need moved. Do you know how to change the default
location it saves new databases?

D. Right click "Databases", all tasks, attach database

Or you can do the same things with sp_detach_db and sp_attach_db if you
are happier in code
