How do I set XP to use a sep partition for all temp files

[starbuck]

I recently re-installed xp due to a borked install. Before that, I had set up a seperate partion a long time ago for all temp files(windows and internet). I now cannot remember how to set this up(i never realised how much temp rubbish you get until I had this partition).

Do you mean 'how do I create the partitions' or 'how do I config windows to use partitions for these files'? (or both)

I already have the partition so just need to know how to tell windows how to use the partition for all temp files.

For the tempory internet files: Control panel > Internet options > (Tempory internet files) settings > move folder. Then browse to the folder on your patition

For the page file: Control panel > System > Advanced > (Performance) Settings > Advanced > (Virtual Memory) Change. Then change the drive in the box and click set.

For the user temp files: I have no idea : ) I'm interested though so post it if you find out!

you can control this with tweakui

Right click on My Computer select Properties.
Select the advanced Tab.
Click on Environment Variables.
Change the TEMP and TMP Settings to whatever you want. (this only does it for your account),
To change the System settings scroll the System variables bar to teh bottom, and change the TEMP and TMP Settings to whatever you want.

You can also change the location of your system partition in a similar way.
Click on Performance settings instead and change from there
