Well I'm back! I have finally found some time to try and defrag my swap file. But as you can see from my previous posts, I tried and was not able to defrag. I just now went and tried
"c:\windows\command\scandisk /f c:\windows\win386.swp " as WhitPhil recommended. But I received the following message/error: Scandisk cannot examine drive F.
Prior to that I went to Search>Find to see if I could find out if it is Windows managed like you stated. I found it listed FOLDER: c:\Windows SIZE: 24,664k TYPE: Swap File. I also downloaded Ad-aware installed it and found 26 components. I saved/backed them up and then deleted them.
So after all that, basically I'm still trying to find a way to defrag my swap file.
However, the plot thickens. As I was sending this post, I went back to Search>Find so that I would list the the information under the correct titles. (i.e. File, Size...) But to my surprise the size of my swap file is now at 94,208k. Is this normal to jump up that much in such a small amount of time and all I did was run Ad-aware and log on/off to AOL. But no other programs were ran. I'm not real familiar with the Swap file, so it made me a little concerned with the big difference in size.
So, that is all for now, I HOPE to hear back from someone, anyone that can help me to defrag my swap file and maybe explain why such a big jump in my swap file.
As always, thanks in advance for any and all help and suggestions.
Thank you!
