Changing moodle directory

I would like to rename my directory - it is currently www.mysite.com/moodle

I would like it to be something the students can see more clearly like www.mysite/Students for example

I do not want to go ahead and change this and then find that loads of pages stop working. Anyone know which pages are crucial to have the word "moodle" in them. I have done a quick find through the site and moodle is listed several times - the urls are easy enough to change but many times it is not a url but just part fo the code.

Has anyone else done this after already setting up the system? Hoping I do not have to start again!!!

Thanks,
Nikki

For my knowledge, the only change needed to allow Moodle work with the new folder name is in config.php.

Of course, this will not update contents you may have entered using hyperlink with the http:/..../moodle/... URL.

Yes, just change config and most things will work. Things you linked in via the html editor may need to fixed, though.
