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 :) Sorry for double posting

it's a bit of a trip to find the settings, but here goes: :)

control panel >> system and security >> system >> advanced system settings >> environment labels, edit paths in top two boxes

i'm not quite sure what the difference is between TEMP and TMP, though. :confused:

you'll probably also want to change your browser's file cache too.
