Re: Profiler temp file



Well you really shouldn't be using profiler for such things anyway. The more
efficient way to do this is to create a trace and send the trace events
directly to a file on a drive attached to the server. Then you can copy that
file to your local machine and view it in Profiler or dump it into a table
for querying. If you set up a trace definition in Profiler, run it for a
second and then stop it you can go to File - Script trace to generate an
almost ready made script for your trace.

Is there any way to move the temp file that is create by Profiler (used
for the datagrid scrolling screen) from the C: drive? Our C drive is not
large enough to allow a long Profiler session, since the Profiler temp
file ends up filling up the C drive.
