(1) Move the Swap File to D:..

Control Panel, System, Performance tab, bolt "Let me specify...", &
select D:\ from the dropdown menu. OK your way out, & reboot. (The other
settings there are perhaps best left at Windows defaults-- zero Min & no
max Max.) On reboot, you may still have a "C:\Windows\Win386.swp",
however it's size will now be zero. Now, it is said, this should only be
moved to the first Primary partition on a drive. Also, if for some
reason D: becomes unavailable, the swap file will revert to C:. So,
better keep some space available.

(2) Move Temporary Internet Files. Here's how to move it to
"D:\Temporary Internet Files"...

1. "Control Panel, Internet Options, Delete Files button, check 'Delete
all offline content', OK, Apply, OK". May as well click to clear
"History" while there.
2. Close all open windows, except Internet Properties.
3. Click the "Settings button".
4. Click "Move Folder".
5. In the "Browse for Folder" requestor...
a. Highlight (D, or click plus to left of (D, & highlight any
sub-folder you may wish to contain TIFs.
d. Click OK
6. It will ask; give it permission to re-boot

Now, TIFs are where you want them, and all is well with the world. The
folder Temporary Internet Files & all it's contents has been moved to
D:\. (However, check up on it now/then, as mine have snuck back a few
times, likely after big IE critical updates.

(3) Move the Outlook Express store folder to D:\...

1. Create a folder for them, perhaps "D:\Outlook Express Store".
2. "OE, Tools menu, Options, Maintenence tab, Store Folder button,
Change button".
3. Browse to your folder, click OK & OK.
4. Close OE, & reopen it. The move will then occur.

(4) Move "My Documents" to D:...

1. R-Clk "My Documents" on the Desktop, & select "Properties".
2. Change the "Target" to "D:\My Documents".
It will offer to create that folder, if not already there.
3. Manually copy the contents of "C:\My Document" to "D:\My Documents".
4. CAVEAT...
While it does change "Personal" in two Registry keys...
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\She
ll Folders
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Use
r Shell Folders

....I manually found 18 others myself. Though these were generally in app
settings, I thought one/two seemed to be system keys. Windows did not
itself do shortcuts, either.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
Save Directory "D:\My Documents\"

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\She
ll Folders
My Pictures "D:\My Documents\My Pictures"

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DirectX Diagnostic Tool
TxtPath "D:\My Documents"

I had to do those myself!
