Where do you want to stop today? No winders is incapable of doing anything properly, I set my own. Like why would I do that anyway? Cause I always have a swap file, It's always being created. It's always being used. I don't want to wait for winders to make it bigger and I don't want to wait for winders to make it smaller again 50000000 times a day. Just think it's the way we work on machines. We open something up then sit there for a bit winders goes oh free space and makes it smaller just in time for us to do a cut and paste. You know your trying to do the paste then winders realizes the swap is to small and resizes it instead of doing the paste. Pass. Winders is incapable of doing the swap file. I set mine to 1 gig min with no max. Doing it this way prevents at least the first gig of it from getting fragmented although XP uses a different system it's the same effect. Slow and slower... Remember the biggest it can grow is 4 gigs max minus the memory you have on the mother board. So always less than 4 gig on a 32 bit machine. It's the absolute maximum and now days people got 120 gig hard drives and bigger so why would you not create a swap file of a least a gig?
