Does anyone know how to MOVE the virtual memory swap file in XP Pro? I was able to do this in '98 & ME, but in XP Pro, you don't appear to be able to put your swap file on a separate partition. Now I have a useless "swap file" partition.
Looking at that area, I see that only the C: drive (windows partition) has a swap file (page file). Is it advantageous to add a swap file to each partition? I have C=windows, D=(now useless) swap file, E=Program files, F=temp net files, G=Storage. If it is advantageous, should you let windows manage it or make it custom size which IS advantageous on ME & '98? Thanks, -Clint
Clint, you can have a swap or paging file on each partition, provided each partition is on it's own drive. If each partition is on one drive then this will slow down your system.
XP and win2k both effectively handle the page file far better than win9x ever did or could. And with the large amounts of memory being installed on win2k and XP you can safely allow the OS to manage the page file.
