In tip 3515, we configured a RAM disk.

Thanks to Warren C. E. Austin, here is a new RAMdisk.reg file that provide the ability to select an appropriate Icon.

Warren has chosen the old MS-DOS "IC" EEPROM icon, which was the default when using a RAM drive under W9x.

The new RAMdisk.reg file contains:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMControlSet001ControlClass\{78A1C341-4539-11D3-B88D-00C04FAD5171}]@="RAMDrive"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMControlSet001ControlClass\{78A1C341-4539-11D3-B88D-00C04FAD5171}000]"DriverDesc"="RAMDrive Driver"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMControlSet002ControlClass\{78A1C341-4539-11D3-B88D-00C04FAD5171}]@="RAMDisk"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMControlSet002ControlClass\{78A1C341-4539-11D3-B88D-00C04FAD5171}000]"DriverDesc"="RAMDrive Driver"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesRamdiskParameters]"BreakOnEntry"=dword:00000000"DebugLevel"=dword:00000000"DebugComp"=dword:ffffffff"DiskSize"=dword:01f40000"DriveLetter"="R:""RootDirEntries"=dword:0x00000200"SectorsPerCluster"=dword:00000004[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession ManagerEnvironment]"TEMP"="%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Temporary Files""TMP"="%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Temporary Files"[HKEY_CURRENT_USEREnvironment]"TEMP"="%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Temporary Files""TMP"="%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Temporary Files"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerDriveIconsR][HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerDriveIconsRDefaultIcon]@="%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll,12"[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerDriveIconsRDefaultLabel]@="MS-RAMDrive"[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerShell Folders]"Cache"="R:\Cache"[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerUser Shell Folders]"Cache"="R:\Cache"[HKEY_USERS.DEFAULTEnvironment]"TEMP"="%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Temporary Files""TMP"="%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Temporary Files"[HKEY_USERS.DEFAULTSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerShell Folders]"Cache"="R:\Cache"[HKEY_USERS.DEFAULTSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerUser Shell Folders]"Cache"="R:\Cache"
