There was a thread a while ago from a guy who was trying to get Win XP
to use up the RAM before it started into the swapfile, sort of like
the conservativeswapfile=1 for Win 98.

Does anyone remember how he made out? I can't seem to find his posts.

That's me & no, I didn't find any way to match Win98's
"ConservativeSwapFileUsage=1" in WinXP.

There's a way to make WinXP/2k stop paging out .DLLs but that's it AFAIK.

Management and set the following value DisablePagingExecutive=1.

Just go into the registry with regedit and reset "DisablePagingExecutive" to
1...

Looking at some of the other keys in that same area, they may have some
effect but I'm not knowledgeable enough to risk tweaking them until I get a
good setuop 'ghosted off' - something I keep meaning to do but never get
around to.  I already have all my data backed up on other machines and CDR -
just not a complete 'system' ghost copy is all.
