Hello everyone

My question is to how to setup a junction point, cause I want to be very cautious about this, I don't want to mess up my Windows setup its running so great with 128GB DDR4 ram. I have build a 96GB Ramdrive and so far I have running on the ramdrive the TEAMS files, SWAP files, IE caching, the scratch folder of my MOAVI video converter and HANDBRAKE and so far I'm so happy with it. So I want to deferred BF4 and any other program.
Also one more question, in the event that I want to delete my ramdrive all I got to do is click the delete bottom that shows in the junction setup area ah? And all the file Windows or on this case ROMEX ramdrive leave the files that defer untouched in Windows? Thanks for any help and clarification.

Juntion Point is a feature from NTFS file system, not Primo Ramdisk's native feature. Primo Ramdisk just provides a mini tool to create/delete junction points. It's like redirection. For eg. if you create a junction point for C:\Temp and redirect it to Z:\Temp. No files are stoed into C:\Temp. All files will be stored into Z:\Temp. So if you delete Z: drive, then no files will leave in C:\Temp.

I thought it was a way to move to setup programs already install in C: drive to move them to any RAMdrive to be able to run the program from Z: drive(ramdrive).

You can do that with junction points - I would suggest installing the Link Shell Extension utility which provides the ability to manage junctions from within Windows Explorer (or any other file manager supporting shell extensions like Total Commander).

With this, you move the folder(s) from C: to your ramdisk, right-click on them (in Windows Explorer), select "Pick Link Source", then right-click on the folder's original parent folder (which should be "C:\Program Files" or "C:\Program Files (x86)" for installed software) and select Drop As/Junction.

That should result in a junction in C: where your folder was originally, pointing to your relocated program on the ramdisk. Installing Link Shell Extension will also provide a modified icon for junctions to make them easier to distinguish from folders.
