I've been trying to find out how to implement a ram drive in Vista.
In my view, except for a very rare very special situation, it's
invariably a very bad thing to do. It reduces the amount of RAM
available to Windows, and can adversely affect your performance--in
many cases, very seriously.
It
appears that your registry entries will do so.
I want to use the ram drive as a place to save files that I will only use in
the current session, like unzipping files.
There's no need to do that. If you are concerned about keeping those
temporary files, just create a folder on the hard drive to save them
in; then write a batch file to delete the contents of that folder, and
put a shortcut to that batch file in your Startup folder.
The above will accomplish the same thing without hurting your
performance.
