Hi all. For those who do not know, Windows does not defrag the swap file when you run the defragmenter. [URL=http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/utilities.shtml]PageDerag[/URL] defrags the page file (registry included) which speeds up load times etc. PS. Mods, please let me know if this sort of stuff is not acceptable practice here.
