I would like to move the location of the outlook express folder in the
"documents and settings" to another drive.
I can just copy them but what do I need to change so OE knows where
they are?

as in changing the target of the My Documents folder....
 
Create the folder first.
In OE, Tools, Options, Maintenance tab, Store Folder button, Change, point
to the new folder.
 
See http://www.insideoe.com/files/store.htm#movestore

You *must* first create the new folder to hold the data before changing the
location of the store from within OE!
