Re: How can I change Cache location?
You can setup individual user profiles, specifying the location of user's profiles. This would place personal settings, bookmarks and cache information wherever you want to store it. Start Mozilla with "-profilemanager" command line switch.

One additional point: it appears you must delete the XUL.mfl file BEFORE opening Mozilla. Otherwise the change to prefs reverts back. It's working great now! The default cache should not be in the \Documents and Settings\user name\Application Data\Mozilla\profiles\Default\9iyx.slt anyhow. Requires special handling when doing backups. e.g., can't simply backup \Doc and Settings\*.* etc. without backing up the cache. And who wants to waste media and time backing up caches. IE handles this easily in tools. Boy it is painful trying to use Moz's composer. The damn curser is in the wrong place. Line wrapping gets stuck when there is a space at the end of a line. No spell checker, etc. Mucho thanks.

Re: How can I change Cache location?
Appears to be OK: "Everyone" same as the working cache. Using just plain "c:" does work. Mozilla makes a folder "cache" and starts working just fine. First time it didn't seem to work [with the "c:"] till I deleted the XUL file. But, I'm not certain that really made a differece. Jay Garcia wrote: > Al Rider wrote: > > >>Thanks for the help.

I have the parent dir set to /tmp and it created a /tmp/Cache. Try having the path as just C: and see if that works. I'll check it on Windows in the evening. Pratik.
Re: How can I change Cache location?
Thanks for the help. But, it just crashes Mozilla when I add it to my prefs file. I've checked and double checked the sytax, etc. Did a copy/paste from your page and simply modified it for the new location. I added the new folder so Mozilla won't have to. I'm using Win 2K, if that matters. Al..

How can I change Cache location?
I've looked all over and can't find what determines the cache location. Would someone point me to it? Thanks...
