Hello

I'm using something I call "garbage partition", where I've moved all the kinds of temp file I could (IE cache and cookies, firefox cache, temp and tmp folders, paging file, printer spooler etc...)

this to reduce windows' partition fragmentation as much as possible, and also to increase global performances since this partition is located on a different hdd than the one windows is installed on

now I would like to move the folder where XP's hotfixes are stored before being installed (when using Windows Update), but I don't even know where this folder is and I found nothing with google

so is it possible to do this, and how to do it?

thanks
