Run into an interesting site regarding RAMDISK. There might be interesting 
uses for Citrix related applications: 
http://home.tiscali.be/ir006712/RAMDisk/RAMDisk.htm

Based on Microsoft RAMDisk sample (Q257405). Code for original "free" 
version 1.0 is available here:
http://codeguru.earthweb.com/system/RAMDisk_src.zip

Free version or $10 for "extended" version 2.2.

Here is some info from the site:
"A RAMDisk acts as a virtual drive on your system. It allows you to create 
directories, copy files to and from it, etc.... The data however is not 
written onto a hard disk, but remains purely stored into a particular part 
of your RAM memory. Hard disks have mechanical parts that allow to seek to a 
particular position on the magnetic storage media and to read/write data. 
This make them relative lazy. A RAMDisk can read and write the same data to 
upon 30-60 times faster than a hard disk ! However, the data stored in your 
RAM is "volatile" : it disappears when you cut off the power to the RAM 
memory, with other words, if you turn off your system. This applies to the 
content of the RAMDisk too !"
