If you're talking about the library database, that's not supported.
If you're talking about where to keep your music files, change the Rip
location in WMP's Tools:Options:Rip menu dialog. =)

When I try to change the rip to location I get the message

"The selected folder is not available. Verify that you have the correct
permissions to add files to the folder."

What do I do?

The folder is, My Music located at I:\Documents and Settings\Douglas
Brown\My Documents.

Is that folder accessible via Explorer?
Where is that folder located? Is that a mapped location? Is it on the
local hard drive?
