Does anyone know how to change the Default data file and loggroup directory after installation. Without rebuilding the master database.

You can do this in Enterprise manager

Right click on the Server, choose Properties and click on the Database settings tab. You'll see where you can change these settings

Also registry keys are

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\[Instance Name]\MSSQLServer

DefaultData
DefaultLog

Note this will only work in SQL2000 or if you are using the SQL2000 tools. Otherwise you will have to edit the registry values.
