| 99432 | 2002-11-18 09:49:00 | Hi, it's your "swap" file, the file Windows sets up to act as virtual memory. You wouldnt normally delete it, in fact Windows wont let you. It can be worth deleting it from DOS if you are running Win95/98, before defragging. That helps to keep your drive tidy. Window will rebuild it. Cheers |
