How to increase Temp folder size on windows server 2003

[Guest sachin]

I have windows server 2003. I am running an application which utilises temp

folder. When the size of data of application excees 3.8 GB in temp folder it

fails.Hence I want to incease size of temp folder. Is there any way by which

I can change the size of temp folder under C:\DOCUME~1\<user

directory>\LOCALS~1\Temp.

 

Thanks in advance

Folders don't have a "size limit" but partitions do, depending

on the file system you use. I suspect it's FAT32 in your case.

Convert it to NTFS to resolve your problem. Servers should

not have FAT32 partitions anyway - it's a legacy file system.

My file system is already NTFS. I have 9 GB free on C:. Total volume size is

20GB.

Open a Command Prompt and type this command

to create a 6 GByte file on the fly:

 

fsutil file createnew "%temp%\big.bin" 6000000000

 

Report the error message you see if the command does not

work. If it works then your claim that the temp directory

cannot take large files is incorrect.

 

Remember to delete big.bin when finished!
