Is there even such a thing as...

...redirecting HDD writes to RAM for a running win32 program? Say Firefox needs to write data to a file named "Cookies" located somewhere on my HDD because I accessed a site that wants me to accept cookies, could I somehow redirect that data to-be-written to a file located in RAM?

is there a specific reason for that?

technically, you can setup a ramdisk. and change temp directory to point to ram disk.

The reason would be less HDD I/O's

Easiest thing would be to get a SSD, you can set some stuff for RAM caching (with software you need to buy) but it will still need to be written to disk eventually.

as far as i know, without tweaking too much settings, the best you can do is a fake harddrive via software (ramdisk) and point it to this drive.
