Defrag Swapfile
 
I know I've asked a lot of questions lately, but. Can you defrag the swapfile on an XP home setup. I have my swapfile on a different partition but MS defrag utility doesn't seem to want to know. Can you?

One way is to disable/delete the swap file, defrag, then turn it back on

I thought those green blocks were virtual memory?

Well if u delete the green blocks and defrag they should be recreated as a continual file. That site requires a log in.

Im guessing that if i disable this and defrag then re enable, it will make my PC run faster?

Once I disabled the swap file, rebooted and then enabled. The swapfile became a continuous blck again with no need to defrag.

O&O defrag has the option to defrag the swap file and MFT before Windows is able to touch it (when it first boots up). I always have it turned on, and it makes a good job of it.

More than you ever wanted to know about swapfile, but worth reading!
