Move offline File cache location in Vista system

I've been having a headache after using Windows Vista, and there's always enough free space to install Vista partitions. I installed the Vista partition has 30GB, should be enough, because the use of offline file features, and offline files cached on the system disk, so often be offline files make system disk space tense. I looked at various system options, including options on the GUI, Group Policy, the registry, and Vista's own command-line tools, but didn't find the right approach. At the same time on the internet also searched for a long time, Kung Fu, finally found. Unexpectedly, at that time I consider so complex, originally unexpectedly with easy transmission to fix.

If you have a similar problem, hopefully this article will be useful to you.

Many customers ask us how to change the default save location (C:\WINDOWS\CSC) of the offline Files cache to other volumes, as is the case.

Run the following command in the command Prompt line window of administrator rights (all of the following is a complete line of commands):

EG ADD "Hklm\system\currentcontrolset\services\csc\parameters"/V migrationparameters/t reg_dword/d 1/f

Use the local administrator account to run the following commands and, if necessary, replace the partition letter in them:

C:\windows\system32\migwiz\migwiz.exe

In the Windows Easy Transfer Wizard, select the following options in turn:

A. Click to start a new transmission.

B. Click on my old computer.

C. Click to use a CD, DVD, or other removable media.

D. Click an external hard disk or a network location.

E. Enter the location where you want Savedata.mig to be saved, and then click Next.

F. Click Advanced Options.

G. On the Select the user accounts, files, and Settings page to be routed, do the following:

I. Select all selected check boxes.

Ii. under System and program settings (all users) options, expand Windows Settings, expand the network and the Internet, and then select Offline Files.

Iii. Repeat this action for each user listed on this page.

H. Click Next to start the transfer.

Create a new string value named CacheLocation under the Hklm\system\currentcontrolset\services\csc\parameters key in the registry. It then sets its numeric value to the NT format name that you want the cached save location to correspond to. For example, if you want the cache to be stored in the D:\CSC directory, enter \?? \D:\CSC.

Create the D:\CSC directory (or any other directory you specify).

Restart the computer.

Run C:\windows\system32\migwiz\migwiz.exe, and then in the wizard, follow these steps:

A. Click the transport that is continuing.

B. Click No, I have copied the files and settings to a CD, DVD, or other removable media.

C. Click on the external hard drive or network location.

D. Enter the path to the. mig file that you created in the previous third step.

E. Match the old computer with the user account one by one on the new computer.

F. Click Next, and then click Transfer.

Log off, log back in, and then confirm that you can access the offline files correctly.
