This worked like a charm on my vista with SP1! I would like to mention that I had to give ownership to an account called “Administrator” for the movefile to work.
Oh, GOD! Thanks Thomas! I spent an hour wondeing what went wrong. It’s a good guide but you really should make a note that the account that needs to take ownership is Administrator not your own account. Even if it’s in the Administrators group, apparently.
It should also be noted that this will break Windows Updates.
Sure, it works as an interim fix if you have no other options, but it’s not for the long term.
