Hey there, I just got back from a trip and I’m a bit swamped right now, but I might have time to look this weekend. Were you able to sort this out?

Also, What happens to the existing swap file when you select the “no paging file” option? Is the information in virtual gone and the new swap file created in D: is empty?

Hi,

I copied my folder file names (instruction 5) which are the “Contacts, Desktop…” etc. have a “Roaming” folder as part of that group but also see it listed under the AppData that you said not to select. The “Roaming” folder outside of the AppData folder contains a file that says Intel/Wireless that is empty. The Roaming folder inside the AppData contains a lot; Adobe, Arcsoft, Foxit Software…”
Question: Should the Intel information be in the Roaming folder under the AppData or should I move it to Drive D with the other folders?

Thanks for your help.

It sounds like you skipped step 5, fwiw.

Hey Chris, if it was already there, fantastic. Maybe they’re coming out of the box configured to point to D now Did it help with giving your c partition some breathing room?

SO grateful for this information! I’ve been wrestling with this for two weeks and can’t afford to take it to a geek for help! In the meantime, email down, no downloads would work – like security updates. I don’t know what I would have done if I hadn’t googled faceprov! Thanks Velda

I don’t know how I came by “d” for data but i’m glad I did I think- I don’t know too much about the workings of computers,but enough to get by. I bought a lenovo pc not knowing it had two drives until later down the road and then I thought that when c drive filled up it would automatically go to d drive- “not so”–what I did was to drag files over from c to d, but that didn’t work so well and then when I saw d for data and the word lenovo, I read on and I followed your instructions. Even though you indicated laptop and I moved over one file and that was good- I stopped there because I don’t know what a swap file is and do I have to do this part–thanks again JOEM
