Partitions

Why defrag swap files ? Just delete the suckers, run defrag then re-init them. I wouldn't try it on anyone elses computer, but have done it many times on my XPsp2 machine: boot in safe mode and goto your virtual memory settings and set 'no paging file', save, reboot in safe mode again and run your defrag. Once done, go back and re-enable your paging file, reboot again. I run 2 page files- one on the boot drive (C: 1.7 times ram size, fixed), the other on the second partition (D: windows configured size).

Run NOTHING else while in safe mode with paging disabled.
