Hard Drive Thrashing
Help File - Application cannot find
Hard Drive Thrashing
To modify/reduce the hard drive thrashing go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer
The default value is:- Max Cached Icons=4000
It is also recommended to edit your SYSTEM.INI file's [vcache] section to read (SYSTEM.INI is located in your Windows folder):
[vcache]
MinFileCache=4096
MaxFileCache=4096
The above is useful on systems with at least 16MB of RAM installed.
On systems with 8MB or less, try these conservative System.ini [vcache]
[vcache]
MinFileCache=2048
MaxFileCache=2048
Create a new [vcache] section if it is not already present in your System.ini file.
Restart Win95.
If an application cannot find it's Help File
If you have an application that is having trouble finding its' Help File, you can add its' file name and full path to the following key:
Hkey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Help
There should already be several examples already listed. Just add to them.
