Automatic Growth in size of XPE-Image

[Guest]

Dear Sir/ Madam
I am working on designing an XP Embeded based OS Image for my digital video
recorder. I have designed and placed an image on CF-Card in my digital video
recorder, which works just fine except for one problem.
The size of the Image increases by appx. 1 MBytes on every boot.
I have found that following folders are formed on every boot up:
\Documents and Settings\LocalService.NT AUTHORITY.xxx
\Documents and Settings\NetworkService.NT AUTHORITY.xxx
Both of these folders increase in version number .xxx on every boot up
forming new folders with the same name but incremented version .xxx... Size
of each of these folders is appx. 544 KBytes
Please guide me on how to disable the forming of these folders since my
CF-card runs out of capacity after 30 boots..Please help me...
Your compassion is requested...
Regards
Suhail

Hi there!

Have you made the image with EWF (enhanced write filter)? As far as I
know this alows you to boot XPe from a read-only device, this way it
does not write anything to the device, but instead in the memory. But
you can, even with EWF, write to the device.

Check this, maybe it helps http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms838511.aspx.

Dear Danis
Thanks..No I havent made the image using EWF....I wanted to know if you can
figure out which component may be responsible for the creation of the
folders..and I could may be disable it if it does not hamper functionality of
the system...
