Hey
I have a winXP pro (sp2) computer with 2 harddrives.:
disk C: capacity: 9GB, unused disk space: 901MB
disk D: capacity 40GB unused disk space: 24.4GB
This low disk space on C gives me problem when downloading big files (1GB)
to this computer. I always download to D, but it seems like the download
process first save it to C: and when the download is finished, then the file
is transfered from C to D
System variable on my computer:
TMP = c:\windows\temp
TEMP = c:\windows\temp
User variables on my computer:
TEMP = c:\document and settings\Jeff\Local settings\Temp
TMP = c:\document and settings\Jeff\Local settings\Temp
I want to change this so that when starting a download, the file is first
saved to D drive...
Download treesize and find where you largest space wasters are .DMP
files for one. http://www.snapfiles.com/get/treesize.html
As mentioned you can change the location of the temp directory.
I dual,triple boot and all systems use C:\Temp as their temp drive.
None of that c:\document and settings\Jeff\Local settings\Temp stuff -
just too much digging.
Right click on "My computer". Properties, Advanced, Environment
Variables - edit all the temp dir's to the place of your choice.
I also use a Ramdisk you might find of use
http://www.ramdisk.tk/ it's my B:\ drive
I download junk to it, so when I reboot it's all deleted.
I use the free version so only have 30megs to play with and have never
transferred my temp directories to it, so don't know how that would
work,but it should.
