can limewire be saved to drive D?

Question

My computer has very limited memory and someone told me that when I save files in drive D this will not slow down my computer? Is this true. Your answers will be appreciated. thanks!

Answer 1

I don't advise saving any files to your D drive. The D drive has been specifically partitioned on your hard drive to hold the operating system. Your better choice is to go through your PC's files and programs and delete anything that you don't need. Also, files that you may need can be saved to a disc as opposed to staying on your PC. This way, only your applications are taking up memory. Once you've done this, go to your start menu to programs to accessories to system tools and run disc cleanup. This will clear out all of the temporary files that have been stored on your PC. Then, go through the same files and run disc defragmenter on your C drive. This should speed up your PC.

In a way, it's safer to save your heavier files in the D Drive, but it's not true that it'll speed up your comp. It's only when you have a lot of free space, that your comp will be faster.

To save in D Drive, go to Tools, in the top row, and click on it. Go to Options and click on it. The Panel that opens is "Saving" where you'll see in the box there the Default Setting is "C:/ etc etc/Shared" and the button under that box says "Browse". Click on the Browse button and Select a folder in D to save in, then click Apply and OK.

It might be a good idea to create a "Shared " folder in D Drive before you do this.

All the best.

Cheers.

PS,

I'm assuming that you have a Partioned Hard disc where the secondary partition is "D".

Somebody ought to tell John William that C is the drive on which the OS is resident, not D. He'd do better to check his system, because there might be something seriously wrong with it, if his OS is resident in D.

hi,

it depends on what your drive D is a cd rom, floppy drive (although these days its almose extinct if not already), or a network hard drive.

i think you mean cd rom, so in this case you can store files on a cd freeing up hard drive space that you might need not RAM. so this will not speed your computer up so to speak. if you free up startup programs and eliminate ones u dont need it might speed things. a ver y crude way of doing this if you go to start->run and then type "msconfig". you can uncheck and check items you want to keep or not. but be carefull some are mandaory, if your not sure identify the program and google it, it should tell how important it is or even if its a virus.

but technically you can install limewire on your computer then if you go to the limewire installation directory and burn those files to a CD you can run it from your cd. all you need is JAVA installed, if not already done so, on your computer.

take care.x

You cant automatically set it to save your files to d: drive because then it wuld require a disk for every file. What you can do, is burn all of the exsisting files that you have onto a disk, you can keep them in mp3 format and burn like over ahundred mp3's onto one disk, then delete them from your computer. Then you have fresh space to download, and everytime you have aenough to fill a disck, or make a cd, just burn them and delete from your computer.
