tempdb and templog - moving

Right now both of these reside on my C:, but templog is over 3 1/2 GB.

1) What do I need to do to move both of these to another drive on the
same system?

2) Is there an easy way to purge or compact templog, or just set a size
limit for it?

Thanks,
Scott

Hi

Stopping and re-starting SQL Server should give you a new tempdb.

To move tempdb see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/224071/EN-US/

To shrinking a transaction log file
