Re: dllcache directory be moved ?

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

15 GBytes is a very small hard disk. If the laptop runs well
then I would replace it immediately with a 60 or an 80 GByte
disk.

I have never tried moving the dllcache folder. It may be
possible to do it - there are numerous references in the
registry, e.g. here:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates\Internet Explorer
6\SP1\KB905495-IE6SP1-20050805.184113\Filelist\1\
Location=C:\WINNT\system32\DllCache

Be prepared for new automatic updates to break your
modification, possibly rendering your system unstable.

The single hard drive in laptop is 15 gigs and is broken up to where
logical
drive C is much smaller then logical drive D.
The problem is over time is the MS updates done over time have kept eating
more C drive space as each update adds its own directory and thus the
drive C
is getting too small and that is with already having done your 2nd and 3rd
options so can dllcache be moved ?

Being the dllcache subdirectory had over 1700 files at over 240 Meg
bytes
to
make room needed on Drive C can I move that directory to another hard
drive ?

Thanks


If 240 MBytes causes a problem on your machine then you
should do this, in order of preference:
- Clone your disk to a larger disk. They cost very little!
- Move your user files to a different partition.
- Move the paging file to a different partition.

The last two options will give you only temporary
relief. Six months from now you will have the same
problem unless adopt the first solution.
