Autoexec.bat question
I have the following lines in my Autoexec.bat to clean my Temporary Internet cache:
@Echo Off
smartdrv
C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\DELTREE /Y C:\WINDOWS\LOCALS~1\TIJDEL~1\*.* > NUL
I had to include Smartdrv,, because when I don't Windows just takes hours to start up, and sometimes doesn't at all.
This, on the other hand, works like a charm.
Now, when running Dr Watson, it tells me: 'It is advisable tot remove smartdrv.exe from Autoexec.bat in order to have more memory available to Windows.'
Now this does make sense to me, although it doesn't seem to put a real strain on my resources.
But, if I did want to disable Smartdrv after doing its thing, how do I go about that in my autoexec?
Thnx! Tony

Tony, if you download Langa's clean.bat file you'll see it contains "smartdrv."

I know, I'm a Langa List subscriber myself. I'm just wondering about what the 'Good Doctor' said... https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Wouldn't it be better to 'switch off' smartdrv afterwards?
