SSD Optimisation - move Appdata\Local\Temp?
Hi all - just fitted a Kingston SSD and done a clean install of 7UP. In order to minimse read/writes on the drive I have moved the following to other Hdd's: Windows temp Browser caches and temps App scratchdisks and temp files Windows Pagefile (separate partition on other drive) I would also like to move the Appdata\Local\Temp folder as this gets a lot of traffic and can grow to huge sizes. Anyone know if its possible without moving the rest of the Appdata directories? Brian

you should also install all apps to a hdd and not the ssd. wore out my first ssd in 9 months because of over use. -- mikeyshd "dsotm44" wrote in message news:9d3b6c47-1a10-41f2-9042-50e9463cb993@communitybridge.codeplex.com...
