mox Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 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.

mox Posted April 18, 2005 Author Share Posted April 18, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanVM Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Disable Windows File Protection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mox Posted April 18, 2005 Author Share Posted April 18, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanVM Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 You could always hack sfcfiles.dll to not protect the files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
