Hello I have rediscovered Windows 2000 now with SP4 that now works with USB and its really snappy in fact I think its the greatest Microsoft operating system ever! so I'm trying to disable the swap file becasue I'm using SSD can anyone point me in the right direction
Cheers
Where the hell did you get the idea you should disable pagefile on SSDs?
Leave the pagefile alone. Disabling it will save practically nothing. If your drive doesn't fail from limited writes or you use any time troubleshooting issues caused by disabling the pagefile it will actually cost you.
Hi, I'm a bit sleepy right now, so I'm not in the mood to explain things accurately. I'm sorry. 😅
In essence : NTFS is better suited for SSDs than FAT32.
Microsoft recommends swap files on SSDs.
It's not that far fetched IMHO, because both the PC's RAM (-> Windows Virtual Memory) and the SSD deal with 4KB chunks.
That's good, because SSDs use flash cells, which have to be written block wise.
That's why there's so much fuss about alignment, I assume.
Edit: To answer the original question..The swap file settings used to be somewhere in Control Panel -> System.

I should add that even on systems with lots of RAM , disabling the page file completely is a bad idea. Windows is designed to use a swap file.
And some programs will even complain if there is no swap file.
