the system databases are a must for sql server to work, if you remove/rename the master database, see what happens...

WOW! Where did you come up with that idea? I NEVER would have thought of moving the master database. What ecactly are you trying to accomplish? Just trying to direct users to a different database when they initially login? That's what I think of when you talk abou the default database. In which case, I would have gone searching through SQL Server Books online, under the subject default database of login and you'll find just the thing to solve your woes.

Yes, that's exactly what I meant. What did you mean by "I have moved the location of the master..."
