If you have custom drivers or files you want to always have when you create boot disks,
copy them to the \Windows\Command\EBD directory.
Then when you want to create a new floppy, run \Windows\Command\Bootdisk.bat
This will format the floppy and copy all the files in the EBD directory.
I like this since I usually add a lot more files than the normal StartUp disk Windows creates.
--4.Deleting the TEMP Directory at BootupNormally your TEMP directory can fill with .tmp files, files left over from installs etc.
An easy way to delete it each time you boot is to add the following lines to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
--5.Saving File Searches@C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\DelTree /Y C:\WINDOWS\Temp\
If you want to review the results of a file search at a later time:
If you want to search for files across all drives, including mapped network drives:
--7.Renaming CD ROM Drive Letter
- Press F3 to start the search
- In the Named box, enter file or folder you want to search for
- In Look in select My Computer
- This will search all drives including mapped network drives. Easier than using the comma's.
Rename the drive letters of your CD drive(s) from the back of the alphabet, eg, Z, Y. This way, if you add extra hard disks, your CD drives do not get re-lettered.
