In spite of this, the C: partition is about 4 Gigabytes in size. Could you please suggest how I can reduce the size of this partition. Are there folders which are not strictly necessary for the correct function of the system? Are there folders which I can safely delete? Are there backups made without my knowledge,

You might have to put up with it because of the size of your system. But it's because of the size of my system that I DON'T have to put up with it. Meantime, the number of tiny systems like mine, that can block virtually the entire world with small and reversible losses, is growing. If it keeps growing as I

Growing Swap file
Setting vcache is not used to speed up a drives performance, but to stop the cache from growing out of control. (Over 40Mb on 64Mb system was not uncommon for Win95) I never set a minimum on the diskcache, but limited it to 16Mb on my system, win95osr2, 64Mb. It swaps a lot less, responds faster, and I don't care

But I HATE hacking my way through my system (but am glad I have the skill and knowledge and guts to do so). Archive.pst is, by the way STILL well over 20MB and growing.

Hi, I am relatively new to Win2K and have a question regarding the size of my "User Profile" under Control Panel/System/User Profiles, which is *rapidly* growing in size.

Second one: I know DJGPP has access to the full Memory in my system (Pmode and that stuff), so we're talking about no more Memory model worrys right?

Also, when you delete the ShellIconCache file (it also gets deleted when you boot to Safe Mode, or when you install TweakUI), some machines rebuild it and it stays a reasonable size, whereas other machines rebuild it and it just keeps growing to a huge size.

The thing that slows it down is growing and shrinking the swap file, not actually using it. I have a lot of sofware running all the time so you may not need a swap file that large.

It seems quite stable on my system. Seems to me that accessing any swap file, dynamic or static, will use CPU cycles and HD activity. The "optimum" configuration is as follows: Make a partition on your HD. Make it roughly 10 MB larger than your "2.5 X RAM" in size. Format that Partition (preferably using FAT32 FS

You will need at least 16 meg, and 32 is a really good idea, but this may mean trying to find a vendor who can sell you 32 pin SIMMS in that size. Jason -- Rex Ballard - Open Source Advocate, Internet I/T Architect, MIS Director http://www.open4success.com Linux - 50 million and growing at 3%/week!
