Remove ReadyBoost from USB flash drive
Right click on the drive in an explorer window, choose properties,
readyboost tab, select Do not use readyboost on this drive. the file should disappear and you should be able to use it as a normal flash drive. "Spectrumone" wrote in message ...

Advice please Out of interest, how exactly did you determine the performance differences with/without ReadyBoost? What spec is your PC?

Remove ReadyBoost from USB flash drive
My evaluation was strickly a visual accessment.
If my eyes do not see faster performance then there isn't any of value. Like most performance tools, a load of some sort has to exist, memory full with multiple apps, etc. Like adding hard memory to a system if system is running only one app. I thought trying Readyboost for the $12 price of a flsh drive was worth it. Now I will use the flash for data. I'm still a happy camper. "CJM" wrote in message ... "Spectrumone" wrote in message ... Used a USB flash for ReadyBoost for a period of time.
