Projects won't open after moving files into new folder

I'm using Windows Movie Maker Version 2.1.4026.0 on a new Dell WinXP
Media Center 2005, 3.4 GHz, 2 GB RAM system, with an NVIDIA GeForce
6800 video card, an Angel TV tuner card, and an SB Audigy 2ZS Audio
(D8CO) sound card.

After working with WMM a bit, and creating a few projects, I moved the
various files from my main hard drive to a new, second hd. Those moved
files include the following file types:

MSWMM
wmv
wma
wav

Now, when I select File/Import into Collections, I can navigate to the
new folder on the new hard drive and successfully load a wmv file, and
have the video clips load into the Collection window. However, when I
select File/Open Project and open a MSWMM file, only red X's load into
the Timeline/Storyboard window. I put a lot of work into some of those
projects and don't want to lose them. I'm sure the problem must involve
the moving of the files from their original C:\ folder into a new F:\
folder.

Can someone please help me retrieve my projects?

Right click on the red X and then click on "Browse for missing file" this
will resolve that picture and possibly all of them.
