Simple question on moving SQL2005 master database

$

Hi,

I need to move the master database on an SQL2005 server from one location to another. I have read numerous articles/questions on this and seehttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345408(v=sql.90).aspx

This explains about needed to move the Resource db at the same time or I will have trouble. As the Resource db is 'hidden' I cannot find any explicit information on it so in the above article the file names are shown as:-

ALTER DATABASE mssqlsystemresource
    MODIFY FILE (NAME=data, FILENAME= 'new_path_of_master\mssqlsystemresource.mdf');
GO
ALTER DATABASE mssqlsystemresource
    MODIFY FILE (NAME=log, FILENAME= 'new_path_of_master\mssqlsystemresource.ldf');
GO

So I can assume that NAME=data and NAME=log is correct?

Also what about the dismdl files that get installed. We are not using Replication so do I need to do anything with these 2 files too?

Thanks

Chris
