Here is a solution, maybe not neat enough but certainly would satisfy your objective. In particular, it includes load and unload all in one batch file. And, I respect your lines as much as possible. Make the following batch file. @echo off ::------------------------------ :: name : launch_ie.bat :: location : wherever you want ::------------------------------ @ECHO ON for testing cls echo Loading IE Cache to RAMDRIVE XCOPY C:\SAVED~1\TEMPOR~1 E:\TEMPOR~1\ /E /H /Q /K /Y "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.exe" pause XCOPY E:\ C:\SAVED~1\ /E /H /Q /K /Y del C:\SAVED~1\TEMPOR~1\CONTENT.IE5\INDEX.DAT @echo off ::----------------------------------- Create a shortcut for it. Click out the Properties, and makes sure with the following properties on Program, do the modification if necessary 1 Close on exit : checked 1 Run : minimized 1 Icon : browse to pointing to say C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.exe and select a better looking icon. After that, move the PIF icon to desktop, if you like and choose a better name. The setup of ramdisk e: must be made in your autoexec.bat as existing setup, I suppose. The line "pause" allows you to complete the unload after you have quitted IE. Press enter to the expanded dos box. The ms-dos will stay on the taskbar during the browsing session. This is all the setup needed. Additional remark : Wondering if SAVED~1 is actually the way you name the directory. If it is a typo, check to make sure. It is certainly not an (8.3) alias of a LFN.

An additional modification to the PIF shortcut. Program properties - modify the command line there to : existing Cmdline : ... modified Cmdline : c:\windows\command.com /c ... The letters are those added part. It makes the dos box closing under better control.

Thanks tsuji In a hurry but here's what I did (Post details later here) Created 3 bat files. 1) Calls #(2)Load.bat and launches my isp when finished.Changed shortcut icon to isp's.:) 2)Loads cache 3)Unloads caches and shuts down windows/pc.(Needs a really nice OFF icon!) Not real polished but before reading your last post I found the close window command and put that at the end of each.(Didn't know about the toggle in PIF shortcut or I may have done that.I'll clean it up and post later.neXussT \ Thanks again Peter Hmmn then changing IE TIF files to 1 permanent one is the next "Bug"!I tried the 5.0 fix but alas no MM256.dat or MM2048.dat:(

Ran into the "random file names properties" bug using xcopy after a long session of browsing.(Large cache) Switched to the XXCOPY.exe which seems ok but I need to play with it some.Can't use long file names in source/destination pathes I spose its to do with the system and hidden properties.Must be a new switch or something.Seems to work well with dos names. The name errors where: FILES\ \Temporary And one other combination with E:\Temporary Internet Files I think it was Internet. Gonna run with that a while and post back later.

xxcopy seems better than xcopy here.I have temporarily given up on the IE cache though.I can't figure out how to save/replace or reassociate the index.dat with the current content. So I downloaded Interquick.Which is sposed to feed IE its cache.Its cache is saved without any restrictive attributes.Making it easy to save to the ramdrive.I wish I could think of a way to measure the perfomance but seeing that I have also been fiddlin with the modem(got 56kbs down and 34up last run whoohoo).With the ad filter on access can be slow but with it off things really start to sizzle.Well for a dial up on a noisy line at least.I think the single user lic. for the Interquick is $19.95.Have to run it a while to see if its worth it.But for the ease of putting cache in the ram drive it may be well worth it.It was much better then Netsonic Pro which just wouldn't cache with this IE6.And after uninstalling it had raised cane with my modem driver and settings.Among other things!!Well if I get a chance I'll post something regarding this in the current forum.Give em something to pick apart and maybe I can get some feed back on the finishing touches.So to anyone considering setting there IExx cache to memory go for it.But don't get discouraged if it takes a while to get the results you want.
