The database log files or the error log files? If you want to move the database log files, then follow the directions in the article only moving the log files instead of both data AND log files. If you want to move the error log files, then you need to follow this:

1. Right-click on the SQL Server in Enterprise Manager and select Properties.
2. Click the Startup Parameters button.
3. You will need to specify a new location for the error log files using "-eC:\newdirectory\ErrorLog
4. You will need to remove the old entry.
5. You will need to restart SQL Server.
