Graham,
I am glad to help, after all the help I have received here, and I agree that
real-world people can usually explain things a heck of a lot better than MS
ever does. I tried to put it nicely, but unfortunately email cannot give the
tone of voice of the message and it obviously came across more harshly than
it was meant. It is just that I see so many questions asked and to which I
can find the answer in a one-minute KB or Google search. I have actually
seen replies where someone just says, "Google it! You'll find it!" and they
don't give any other help. I won't be that rude. I just encourage searching
before posting, as tons of answers are already out there, and if you are in
a bind, you get the answer faster.
For example, I just Googled (in Google Groups) the exact same words I used
for the KB search ("sbs 2003 move folders"). The second link is to a person
quoting the link to the white paper that tells how to move all SBS data
folders.

Google Groups is **almost** as good as sex.
