Question on changing startup parameters

I'm new to SQL Server...running SQL Server 2000. Had to move the system database logs to a different drive. Used EM, Server properties, Startup parameters. Changed the transaction log designation. Closed that window. Stopped the server.

Server won't start as I messed up and did not include the file name in the new designated path...just down to directory level.

From what I've seen, I have to be able to start the server service to change the parameters and the server won't start.

Is there a file that contains these parameters I may edit or should I try using the command line options.

Many thanks in advance.Was able to do a reg edit on the parameters and have it running.|||You can also start it from a command line with parameters.

sqlservr [-sinstance_name] [-c] [-dmaster_path] [-f]
[-eerror_log_path] [-lmaster_log_path] [-m]
[-n] [-Ttrace#] [-v] [-x] [-g number] [-O] [-y number]

Look at SQL BOL for the complete reference. It's a handy thing to know at 2:00am.

Just a note: sometimes the paramters, when used in conjunction with other parameters, will act in an unpredicatable way. use google for more info|||just another reason to script everything.|||just another reason to script everything.
a real reason to script everything? all these sex ads (http://www.napstergirl.com) floating around the internets. I once thought that it was cool, but think of all the space this is wasting? anyway, this one ad kinda made sense to show cause look at the website: it is so advanced and could be used for other things
