For Windows you need to go through the Windows System Properties. Select the Advanced Tab in XP and at the bottom hit the Environment Variables button. If you are an administrator you can define this as a System variable but any user can define it for themselves. Select New and enter the name in all CAPS as above. Then enter a value as a decimal number, the default is 6000000. Since the utiltities don't generally run a long time doing a fairly big number say 20000000 is not a problem. The units are words so this is 160MB
