RAM disk

How to make Eve-Online utilise a RAM disk

Preamble
If you have a 32bit Operating system and more than 3.25Gb RAM you will not be using all that RAM - this can be utilised by utilities such as SuperSpeed 9

if your RAM disk is set to be h: and you have installed eve to c:\games\Eve
make yourself a .bat File [i.e. RAM-EVE.bat]

@echo off
Set ram=h:\
set Char=noone
if NOT "%1"=="" set char=%1
set home=%ram%%char%
mkdir "%home%\Local Settings\Application Data\CCP\EVE"
mkdir "%home%\My Documents"
Set USERPROFILE=%home%
Set HOMEDRIVE=%home:~0,2%
Set HOMEPATH="%home:~2%"
Start "EvE" "c:\games\eve\Eve.exe"

Then create a shortcut and when it asks for the target point it at this batch file and add a character to the end of it i.e.
c:\games\RAM-Eve.bat CharacterName

then you run eve by the use of this batch file - you can have several short cuts all with different names and this will keep all the setting separate- DO NOT forget to back this drive up as your settings will be lost after a power cycle [unless you automaticlly save the contents of this drive]
