Change of default path while creating New DB

Hi,
while creating new database and setting the Data and Log file by
default it shows the default path (based on SQL Server Installation) .
If we want to change the path we will be able to change. But while creating
Data and Log file i want the the default path it shows to some other defaul
t
path.
Please give me the solution as early as possible
Thanks,
HerbertHi
Enterprise Manager
Click on the Server
Right click
Select properties
Database Settings Tab
Change the values 2/3 of the way down the page "new database default
location".
From that point onwards, new databases created use those paths.

I think this settings stored somewhere in the registry.

CHange the value for the below registry keys.
For a SQL 2000 default instance, the default folders are stored in the
registry under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mi_crosoft\M
SSQLServer\MSSQLServer\DefaultData
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mi_crosoft\M
SSQLServer\MSSQLServer\DefaultLog
For named Instance:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mi_crosoft\M
icrosoft SQL Server\[Instance
Name]\MSSQLServer\DefaultData
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mi_crosoft\M
icrosoft SQL Server\[Instance
Name]\MSSQLServer\DefaultLog
Enterprise Manager:-
These can be viewed/changed with Enterprise Manager (server properties -->
database settings). This will also update the registry.
Thanks
