creating dllcache

[mox]

Is there any way to stop windows from filling this folder (c:\windows\system32\dllcache) upon install? same question for c:\windows\inf\

seems like a big waste of install time and harddrive space.

i use a batch file to kill the cache

@echo off

echo.

ECHO Purging DLL Cache...Please Wait

start /wait /SFC /purgecache

EXIT

yeah, i could easily purge it after windows boots, but is there a way to stop all those files from being copied over in the first place? seems like i'd be a big timeboost.

Disable Windows File Protection

file protection is off.. deleting them is no problem, but that doesn't stop the files from getting cached anyway, or stop xp from installing backup drivers in folders like windows\inf

[RyanVM]

You could always hack sfcfiles.dll to not protect the files

[mox]

ahh.... excellent idea, thank you. thank you for the hotfix pack as well, i am very grateful.

any ideas on what prompts windows to back up all those drivers and such?

Much Simple ..Add To U're Winnt.sif This :

[SystemFileProtection]
SFCQuota = 0

BlueMe you're tight, SFQuota keep DLLCache empty ...

But full disable WFP is a must ! After you can delete xerox in prgram files , OE , and MEssenger without problem , it's more clean
