need to relocate this: MSDownLd.tmp, Recent, Temp folders

i'm gonna move it to a separate partition with a size of 500MB,

how i do that??
 
"Recent" is moved by going into the Registry to these points:-
HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-18\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-##############\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

and pointing "Recent" to wherever you require.

The "Temp" folder is moved by right-clicking "My Computer" clicking "Properties", clicking the "Advanced" tab, clicking the "Environment Variables" button, and editing all four "TEMP" and "TMP" entries.

I don't have a "MSDownLd.tmp" so I can't help you on that one.
 
thanks Dirk.

MSDownLd.tmp u have to enable show hidden to see it.

any chance u know how to move program folder??


Can i do it with Powertoys2.0?
 
I shall assume you mean the "Program Files" folder, and the answer would be yes I do.

Go to here in the registry:-
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\SFC

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Control\Session Manager\SFC

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\SFC

and change the address of the "ProgramFilesDir" and "CommonFilesDir"

This will only be effective for programmes you install after the change, not the ones installed before.

All programmes installed prior to the change will either have to be re-installed or you can use a small programme called "COA" (Change Of Address)
 
dealer you make me blush, hey I'd make Anna blush if she'd give me the chance, heh heh heh
 
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5- 18\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explo
rer\User Shell Folders

HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21- ##############\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentV
ersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders



%userprofile%Recent

what i am supposed to write: F:\Recent that way or
%userprofile%F:\Recent

???

:rolleyes: :confused:
 
You can write
F:\Recent

If you put "%userprofile%" in the address it will end up back where it started
 
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21- ##############\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentV
ersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders


i dont have recent in that entry...is that ok?
 
If its not there in "User Shell Folders" you can either make it or ignore it, its not a big deal.
Just a little way above the "User Shell Folders" you should see a "Shell Folders", just check if there is a "Recent" in there. If there is then just move that one. Like I said its not a big deal

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
