Easy movie re-linking in powerpoint

[kptkaz]

If I have an mpeg movie in my powerpoint presentation and switch PCs, the
only way I can re-link the movie to the new location is by deleting the movie
clip with the invalid link and re-inserting it with the correct location.
This also means re-defining my loop and action settings. It would be nice if
there were a way to, for example, right click on the movie in powerpoint and
select the location where the movie is played from. Currently, I can right
click, go to "edit movie object" and see where powerpoint thinks the file
location is, but I can't change it.

And what happens if you move the movie file to the same folder as the PPT
file BEFORE linking it? When you move the folder, does the link remain
intact?
