Re: How reduce read/write from HD

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

No tips, Disk I/O is keyed to processes and services running on the
PC. The overall performance of the drive matters, access time, the
rotational speed of the platters and the caching RAM count inside
the drive. In normal operation there will always be disk activity. It
might be beneficial to download SysInternal's tool Disk, FileMon to
monitor Disk I/O in real-time. About the only thing you might do to
lower Disk I/O is review/modify the system loading. ( Services and

I realize by monitoring my HD, that the system itself and many app
make a lot of access to HD. it's seem to me that this lot of access to
HD for nothing is unnecessary fro system with enough RAM. take for
example, why outlook express need to access all the time (even is
there no activity like read email!) to Temporary Internet Directory?

Or ask your self, why VMW workstation (even I not open it, just I turn
on my XP) is access to AppData\VMWatere directory?

Have a way to prevent this behavior? perhaps move it to RAM? I not
care that kind of unnessory Data lost when I turn my PC off.

Have some tip?

(I use with Windows Performance tools & File Monitor, have more good
App to monitoring file access)
