Disk Cache takes all memory when copying large files
This is under Windows XP. I find that when I copy larger files and also running programs, all my memory is used on the disk cache and all programs are paged to disk. Anyone know of the fault and/or a workaround?.

I could be wrong, but I think thats the way NTs memory management is supposed to work. In 4 years of using NT I haven't noticed it do anything else. Of course, I haven't ran it in obscenely large amounts of RAM so that might have something to do with it...
Already tried that. BTW it defaults to programs over system cache.
That seems to help a lot. Once I find out what the best settings for my amount of memory are, I should have it working the way I want it.
Thanks
