This advise is fine as long as the resulting swap file ends up contiguous. I do not myself fixt the size of th swap file. I've never seen the need. I have no drive thrashing. And it is good for the swap file to be zeroed out now and then. There have been times I have not been able to reboot until I have done so, plus the temp directory. If it is not zeroed using normal setting, the fact that it isn't zero indicates problems. If your drive is not thrashing, and the IconCache isn't involved, there is no advantage that I see to fixing the swap file size. > OK.....you should set both the minimum and maximum at the same > value...the idea is that Win95 doesn't have to make constant > adjustments to a permanent swap file size and it will not become > easily fragmented nor will Win95 have to spend CPU time with it. > Win95 will create the swap file when it boots and then leave it > alone. ------------- Larry Koester [log in to unmask] Bloomer, WI
