step 1. Install Imdisk toolkit and initiate a ramdisk at R: with it.
step 2. Create a powershell script with codes shown as below:
function Set_env_temp_folder_path {
param (
[string]$FolderPath
)
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("TEMP", $FolderPath, "User")
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("TMP", $FolderPath, "User")
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("TEMP", $FolderPath, "Machine")
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("TMP", $FolderPath, "Machine")
}
$RTmpFolderPath = "R:\RTemp"
New-Item -Path $RTmpFolderPath -ItemType Directory
Set_env_temp_folder_path $RTmpFolderPath
function Remove-FolderIfExists {
param (
[string]$FolderPath
)
if (Test-Path -Path $FolderPath -PathType Container) {
try {
Remove-Item -Path $FolderPath -Recurse -Force
Write-Host "Folder '$FolderPath' has been deleted successfully."
} catch {
Write-Error "Failed to delete folder '$FolderPath'. Error: $_"
}
} else {
Write-Host "Folder '$FolderPath' does not exist."
}
}
$VhdPath = "R:\ramdisk.vhdx"
$TmpFolderPath = "R:\Temp"
Remove-FolderIfExists $TmpFolderPath
$TmpFolderTargetPath = "S:\Temp"
$break_while_loop = $false
while ($break_while_loop -ne $true) {
try {
New-VHD -Path $VhdPath -SizeBytes 22GB -Dynamic
Mount-VHD -Path $VhdPath
$disk = Get-DiskImage -ImagePath $VhdPath | Get-Disk
Initialize-Disk -Number $disk.Number -PartitionStyle GPT -PassThru | New-Partition -UseMaximumSize -DriveLetter S | Format-Volume -Compress -FileSystem NTFS -NewFileSystemLabel "SecRamDisk" -Confirm:$false
New-Item -Path $TmpFolderTargetPath -ItemType Directory
Set_env_temp_folder_path $RTmpFolderPath
Remove-FolderIfExists $TmpFolderPath
cmd /c mklink /D "$TmpFolderPath" "$TmpFolderTargetPath"
Set_env_temp_folder_path $TmpFolderPath
$break_while_loop = $true
} catch {
Write-Host "Error mounting VHD: $_"
$break_while_loop = $fa
}
}
step 3. Execute Windows Task Scheduler（工作排程器） and create a new task to run at boot:
command:
powershell
parameter:
-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -NoExit "D:\Ramdisk\RamdiskStartupConfigure\attachRamdisk.ps1
Some troubles in installing programs with Imdisk as source of ramdisk can be avoided with this method.
