What's effect of disabling write-behind cahing? Other than presumably speeding up video downloading, of course.
Hey Charles, I followed your suggestion and disabled all 3rd party shell extensions but nothing changed. Interestingly, when I launch Windows...
Thanks for the suggestion Steve. I removed iconcache.db as you suggested -- in fact, I removed iconcache from all four of my user profiles, one of...
Wow! Thanks a lot, guys. I learned a lot from your last two posts (and I moved my Photoshop scratch file from the C to another partition).
Thanks again, Christer. I have reset the page file as suggested to 1536-3072 on the C partition, with no paging files on the D, E and F...
I sure have been getting some terrific help from you all lately, and now I have another question: After I boot up, the very first time I open...
Thanks, Tony. But if I have the four accounts you stated, then why under User Accounts in Control Panel do I only show two -- David Kline...
I'm sorry to be so dense, Christer. But I can't tell if you're saying I should set my C partition page file to 1536-3027 (and disable pagefiles on...
So Christer, are you suggesting that I do a custom 1536-3072 pagefile on the C partition, and leave D, E and F with no paging file?
Thanks Christer. The paging file on C is system managed, so it doesn't give a size. I think I read somewhere that there should not be a...
I have a Dell Dimension 4500 with 1 GB Ram and an 80 GB hard drive partitioned into C (45.1 GB), D (9.75 GB), E (9.75 GB) and F (9.75 GB) In...
Okay, I'm getting closer to understanding all this, but still I have a few questions: 1) First, I think I mis-spoke previously when I talked...
Thanks, mattman. I do in fact have a full backup and disaster recovery program -- PC Backup from Stompsoft. But how would I know what to...
Thanks Charles and TonyT. I'll leave the networks alone, and I'll leave the internet log files alone, too. Interestingly, I just shaved...
You mean, create a system restore point?
Another couple of questions, Charles (or anyone). I looked in the C/Windows/Internet Logs folder and found not just IAMDB.RDB and BACKUP.RDB...
Okay, Charles, I found the save settings button in ZA. But I've got another question about ZA. In my zones tab in firewall, I seem to have four...
So Charles, you're saying that I might boot faster if I delete the ZA database files? I'm happy to try that, but do you know whether doing so will...
I've got 1 GB of RAM, so that shouldn't be a problem. I've got a lean startup tab in Msconfig -- just zone alarm and Norton antivirus. Most of my...
BTW, defragmenting my C drive just saved me 15 seconds. So now it takes me 50-60 seconds to get the desktop and taskbar, and another 30 seconds...
Separate names with a comma.
