Then select “C drive”, then select “system management size", click “set” button, so you can set Vista virtual memory to the Windows XP installation partition.

Temporary folders are usually junk files automatically generated by the system. In fact, when using dual systems, we can use Vista and XP to use the same temporary folder, which saves money. Space is also convenient for us to clean up junk files.
In the Vista system, right click on the "Computer" icon on the desktop to select the "Properties" item. In the window that opens, click on the right side of the "Advanced System Settings" in "System Properties".
