hey gott, received a reply to my symantec swap file post... here's the question and the answer: _____________________ Author: mark Date: 08:01 AM, Dec 16 PST Subject: defrag swap file? Version: Norton SystemWorks 2.0 Operating system: Windows 98 SE hello, does speed disk defrag the swap file? or to ask the question another way, is optimization the same as defragging? when i run speed disk, i select 'full optimization' and also 'optimize swap file'. but i am not clear on whether this just sizes the file, or defrags it? thank you! :) mark Author: Kitte Cole [Symantec] Date: 08:19 PM, Dec 18 PST Subject: Re: defrag swap file? Hi Mark, Thank you for giving me this opportunity to assist you today. >does speed disk defrag the swap file? or to ask the question another >way, is optimization the same as defragging? It is the same thing. If you do not select Optimize swap file, then Speedisk does nothing to the swap file at all. Happy Holidays and thank you for using Symantec Online Services! Please come back if there's anything else we can help you with.
