thread,
here's a defragging tip that i received today involving the swap file. my question is, does norton utilities defrag the swap file? anyone?

Although the Disk Defragmenter utility speeds up file access,
it doesn't defrag your swap file, which is t he file Windows
uses as virtual memory. You can get additional performance gains
by disabling your swap file, defragging your disk, then re-enabling
the swap file. The new swap file will be effectively defragged
and therefore faster. To do so, right-click on My Computer and
select Properties from the Context menu. Click on the Performance
tab, then the Virtual Memory button. Select the "Let me specify my
own virtual memory settings" radio button, then select Disable
Virtual Memory. Click on OK, then OK again. After defragging your
disk, follow the same procedure above, but this time select
"Let Windows manage my virtual memory setting."
