Default Swap file and defragmenting.

My win98 swap file is 2 gigs big and in 300 pieces.

I have to defrag my C: partition, which is 20 gigs big.

I have dual boot, and I'm not in win98 right now.

Can't I just delete the swap file and save defrag the trouble of
defragging it, plus make more room for other files, which also might
make defrag work quicker, and then when I use win98 again, won't it
make a new swap file when it starts?

Thanks.


What's the big deal? If you check this out, you'll see you can set it to
a fixed minimum (but expandable, as necessary) size, and defragging the
drive won't take that long (using the WinME defragger).

Deleting the swap file every day? Why bother? It's going to have to be
created each time - which is a waste of time.
