What's the best way to keep a virtual memory swap file defragmented?
Is this the best way of doing things?

A) Delete swap file (set Virtual Memory to 0)
B) Defrag
C) Create new swap file with min and max size the same

Thanks
 
Did you have any luck.?

I did something like that, and W2K didn't like it at ALL.
Be Careful, please.

No!!!! Don't even think of it.

B) Defrag

Depends on util. Some will defrag the page file, the built in one will not.

Changes nothing with fragmentation. It is possible that you get a slight
preformance boost with no dynamic resize. But it's not really worthwhile.
 
the correct answer is:
D) Create the swap file on a clean partition with min and max the same size.
