I'm not the smartest kid on the block and I have trouble with the geek-speak that often comes with programs like this.

May I ask you to show some tutorials that give the step-by-step configuration for using ramdisk with three common 3rd party programs? In my case they would be Firefox cache, Windows temp and Photoshop.

What goes in the config fields? How do I find the right paths and where do I enter them?

Hope someone can help me out.

Thanks - Marie L

Windows TEMP envrionment variables:

Firefox cache:
1.Type about:config into the address bar, accept the warning ("I'll be careful, I promise!")
2. Right click -> New -> String
Type browser.cache.disk.parent_directory into the box and press OK
3. Type the path of your browser cache directory -- for eg: Z:\ (Z is a ramdisk drive), press OK
4. Close Firefox and restart it again.
Now Firefox cache is set to the ramdisk

Photoshop:
You may use ramdisks as its scratch disks.
1. Open Photoshop ->Edit->Preferences->Performance->Scratch Disks.
2. Tick the ramdisk drive (Z drive in this example) and move it to the first position.

Thank you very much. That gives me a great starting point
