I'm trying to move any logs, queues, etc off the default C:\ drive, but am having trouble locating all the various settings.

This gets tougher when you consider diagnostic logging, and everything else.

Is there a comprehensive list of settings that need to be changed to move all "data" off the C:\ drive and onto a secondary drive?

are you moving them on to seperate spindles for performance reasons? How many drives are you moving to? – Jim B Nov 5 '11 at 3:47
It's on VMWare and I'm moving them because I believe it is a best practice to separate OS and data that may grow. – makerofthings7 Nov 5 '11 at 4:35
AFAIK there is no best practice to simply seperate the OS from the application other than for performance reasons. As there is a related question here (serverfault.com/questions/20600/…) I've added more explanations there – Jim B Nov 6 '11 at 18:40
If you have a heavy-usage server you might want to consider moving Event Log to a separate location. support.microsoft.com/kb/315417 – Vick Vega Nov 9 '11 at 0:24
