Thanx Cow; Tahts what I was looking for. I knew how to do it in 98, but couldn't find it in XP.. ( I didn't look to hard ) as I was sure some one would point me at it, ( if it was there ). ----- To others, Windows is a hog about saving it's physical memory, to about 50% if it can, no matter how much mem you put in the set, so if you go from 128M to 256M windows will start off trying to save 50% of that extra mem you just put in, by writing to virtual mem..( XP seems to call this a paging File ) while 98 called it a swap file. ---- Change of name but looks the same.. Any way one thing I've done for years is to Set the Size of that file myself, so win don't mess around changing it at every wim. The key is to set the MIN the same size as the MAX..I use 384 for both. and ignore the cryptic warning Win gives about not letting it manage the size. ---- The first thing you will notice is the HD light isn't always blinking at you.
