From the software "Vista Manager", I see the option to set the exact size for file system cache. As this software seems very buggy, so I'm would like to do that manually.

This is the only method I'm aware of:

at an admin command prompt enter:

fsutil behavior set memoryusage 2

Oh, already knew this one, and it is only for NTFSMemUsage. I want one for the whole file system.
