I'm sure the MVP's will be opposed to such a thing, Striz. Windows wants
to manage memory. TEMP (or any) DIR is not memory, and probably it is
best to just keep your own eye on any DIR that concerns you, or keep
your virus scanner updated. To watch TEMP...

"START, Run, %TEMP%". It will put TEMP into your Taskbar. To keep it
there through a reboot...

First of all, this will allow you see in Explorer all files that have
the Hidden attribute...
"START, Settings, Folder Options, View tab", & bolt "Show all
files"; may as well uncheck "Hide file extensions..." too.

To know whether a file has that attribute, R-Clk it in Explorer, &
select "Properties". Alternatively...

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Adv
anced
ShowAttribCol 0x00000001 (1) --DWORD. Value data: 1
ShowSuperHidden 0x00000001 (1) --DWORD: 1
PersistBrowsers 0x00000001 (1) --DWORD: 1

ShowAttribCol See Attributes listed in Explorer
ShowSuperHidden Well, I think I saw my first .htt after setting that.
PersistBrowsers An open folder will remain open after a reboot.

"ShowAttribCol" has no space in it's name, although it seems that way
with this font. (None of them do.) Type a "1" in "Value Data". It won't
look like a simple "1" in the right pane. If the column doesn't appear
immediately in Explorer, then re-boot.

1. "START button, Run"; Type "RegEdit" & Enter.
2. Click the plus (+) signs in the left pane starting at
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER" & ending at "Explorer".
3. Finally, click the key "Advanced" in the left pane.
4. In the right pane, R-Clk an empty area; point to "new"; select
"Dword value"; type or paste "PersistBrowsers" & Enter.
5. R-Clk "PersistBrowsers"; select "Modify", enter "1" in Value Data, &
click OK.
6. Do the other two, as desired, from step (4).
7. Close RegEdit & reboot, if it doesn't already show in Explorer.

| Hi,
|
| I remember I have seen ( shareware, what a pitty )
| small vxd based utility
| providing dynamic memory mapping of TEMP ( or any ) dir.
|
| It was ot static as ramdisk, neither create extra disk letter.
| It allocates/frees memory if temp demand occurs/cancels.
| If there is not enough memory, then excess is remapped
| back to disk.
|
| Unfortunately I cannot remember the name
| and did found ( more times ) it or similar
| free equivalent.
|
| Does exist such free one ?
| Or do anybody work on it ? :-) ?
