UPDATE: Move your Google Chrome Cache to the RAMdisk

I posted a tip to move your Chrome Cache to a RAMdisk a few weeks ago. After further testing I discovered, that somehow sometimes the junction points to the R-drive are deleted. I do not know for sure why that happens but I found out that it doesn’t happen if you create the directories at startup. So I created a bat-file containing the following:

mkdir  R:\cache

Save the file (name it dirs.bat for example) to your Startup directory of your Startmenu (something like C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Startmenu\Startup (on Windows XP)) or to the Startup of all users (C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Startmenu\Startup).

There would also be the option to load a image into your RAMdisk on startup so that much more complicated directory structures etc. would be possible but I couldn’t find out how to do that.
