| | Best way to change location of offline files I'm trying to change location of offline files from c: to d: simply because I got more space in d: I've googled this and so far this link (http://forums.microsoft.com/ TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?postid=1583612&siteid=17) has been the most useful. However, there are 2 methods described. One is to delete existing csc and point to a new location. The other one is to do a regedit. (see below) Which is the best and safest way to do it? Thanks. Notes: Method 1: 1. Disable offline files 2. Reboot Vista in safe mode command prompt only 3. Delete the CSC folder in the systemroot (usually C:\windows) 4. Create a symbolic directory link pointing to another location (e.g. mklink -d c:\windows\CSC d:\csc ) 5. Reboot 6. Enable offline files Method 2: from (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/937475) 1. Click Start, type regedit in the Search box, and then press ENTER. 2. Locate the following registry subkey, and then and right-click it: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\CSC 3. Point to New, and then click String Value. 4.Type Parameters in the name box for the new key. 5.Right-click the Parameters key, point to New, and then click String Value. 6.To name the new value, type CacheLocation, and then press ENTER. 7.Right-click CacheLocation, and then click Modify. 8.In the Value data box, type the name of the new folder in which you want to create the cache. Note Use the Microsoft Windows NT format for the folder name. For example, if you want the cache location to be d:\csc, type the following: \??\d:\csc 9. Exit Registry Editor, and then restart the computer. |
