You can move the swap file to another partition by going to properties of
"My computer" and modifying the Virtual Memory yourself.  I would recommend
doing this after deleting the swap file whild in pure DOS and then
restarting into Windows.  This way, Windows will create a brand-new swap
file and there will be less to move when you say "OK" to "are you sure you
want to do this?"

You can also move your Internet Explorer or Navigator browser's cache
directories to another partition.

I would recommend that both of these temporary caching directories be moved
from your primary partition.

Subject: [PCBUILD] HD is 'full'


The hd on my wife's computer will periodically become suddenly
 full. It is a 4.2 gig drive partitioned into c (2.0 gig used as boot,
 program installations etc.), d(1.5 gig used primarily for data storage
 and files ) and e for her copy of win95c. The C; drive is about half
 full  when booted up but after some inconsistent length of time (an
 hour or two or a day or two) the properties of this drive show that it
 is full and she needs to re-boot to get anything to function. My quess
is that somehow the swap file has expanded to take over the entire
 capacity of the drive/partition. Is this what is happening and if so how
 do I fix it?
 TIA
