Hi !
I created ramdisk - Z, and now I would like to move
environment variable TMP, TEMP, print spool, end Temporary
Internet Files to this new drive Z.
I would like to do this with TD.
I found registry key in components and I changed it:
1. Internet Explorer:
HLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\Cache\Paths\Directory -> Z:\Temporary Internet
Files
HLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\Cache\Paths\path1\CachePath -> Z:\Temporary
Internet Files
HLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\Cache\Paths\path2\CachePath -> Z:\Temporary
Internet Files
HLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\Cache\Paths\path3\CachePath -> Z:\Temporary
Internet Files
HLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\Cache\Paths\path4\CachePath -> Z:\Temporary
Internet Files
2. Local Printing:
HLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers\Default
SpoolDirectory -> Z:\spool\Printers
3. Client Printing:
HLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Printers\DefaultSpoolDirectory ->
Z:\spool\Printers
4. Session Manager:
HLM\System\ControlSet001\Control\Session
Manager\Environment\TEMP -> Z:\Temp
HLM\System\ControlSet001\Control\Session
Manager\Environment\TMP -> Z:\Temp

After I have built my new image, this changes above had no
effect. Drive Z was empty without any directory.
I used this image few moments, with belive that directory
will create, but not.
I checked registry, and all my entry was overwriten with
default values.
Does anybody has any idea how to fix it.
thanks for answers

Martin,

What component entries you have changed?
The values may be overwritten by some other components. You may want to create you own component that will import the settings (from
..reg file, e.g.) on runtime during some late FBA phase.
I've posted a similar settings and how to implement them on runtime a long while ago. You may want to search the NG archive for more
info.
