Hi Laurence,

It's called the "Page" file in Windows XP. Here is a link to a very good
article by one of Microsoft's Most Valuable Professionals (MVP) that 
provides "one" authoritative opinion. In general, Windows XP does a very 
good job of managing itself and settings such as this are best left alone by 
the average user.

I recommend you add more physical memory (RAM) if your system will accept 
it. Check the specifications in the computer manual, or on the computer 
manufacturers Web site, for memory type and maximum amount.

Is there any advantage to having the swap file on a seperate partition?
Does it reduce the tendency to fragment?
