Setting up Temp Files on another drive
Is there a tutorial about setting up temp files on another drive other than using my SSD drive (C) I have 2 other drive options would prefer to use my Western Digital 2TB as this is only for storage, the 1 TB Seagate has my Win XP Pro on it.
Did post this elsewhere but I think this is the right place now ![]() Steve |
