Changing the folder where my store resides

When I go to my main page and click "view source code" I get a page of code. Now there are some things in there that I want to change. What file is this code located in. More specifically I want to change

<base href="http://www.paradisegardensupply.net/Shop/" />

I have changed the configure files with the correct URL but it doesn't seem to help anything. :(

http://www.paradisegardensupply.net
This is the site. As you can see if you put your mouse over a category it still says /Shop/ I want to change that. Any help would be amazing.
-Thanks

P.S. I wanted to know where the file was because I want to change some other stuff on there too.

This is the site. As you can see if you put your mouse over a category it still says /Shop/ I want to change that.
The /includes/configure.php file is what controls that.
Remember: the file is normally set to read-only on the server. That means anytime you want to make changes to it you'll need to change the file's permissions (on the server) to writable before you can save/upload your changes.
In some cases you need to actually delete the file from the server before you can upload your updated one to replace it.

Forgetting about this read-only bit is the most common cause of the symptoms you describe.

Re: Changing the folder where my store resides

Thanks for the help Guys I got it. I changed the configure file and it worked. Must have had the permissions messed up.

I am having another problem now... I can't login to the control panel for the store. When I type in the URL /admin it just goes to a blank page. I got the site up but now I can't add items...

I also went into the admin/includes/configure file and changed it to point to the correct directory. I did the same with the dist-configure file. I don't know what to do now...
