Yeah, it's just a registry setting, disablepagingexecutive and largesystemcache...but it still pages regardless, just not as much as default. Man...in Win98se, I could enable conservativeswapfileusage and NEVER use my paging file...mmmm...

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoSharedDocuments"=dword:00000001


Not really a tweak but I hate shared documents...

Heh...oops...wasn't quite thinking...would there be any other uses to the ram drive? I'm using it currently for the cache of my browser. It just makes some of the uses difficult since the ram erases itself on each reboot. Let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks.

Schweet. Just out of curiosity, does anyone have an easy way to make a RAMDRIVE that will load information from my hard drive automatically upon boot and write the changes to the hard drive upon shut down so I essentially have an extremely fast, extremely small hard drive that happens to have a backup on my real hard drive? I've got several uses in mind for something like this, including doing video editing for small clips there.. oh, I have 512mb of DDRRAM.... Thanks to anyone who can help!

It's easier to crap those tweaks fromTWEAKXP.

And there are also good explanations for each tweak, how will those effect to your system performance.

Don't forget that defragmenting your hard drive can do more for your paging file performance than a thousand small tweaks to the usage settings
