My windows swap file got deleted once, and Windows refused to start. You can
try chaning the following lines in your system.ini:
MinPagingFileSize=35840
MaxPagingFileSize=35840
The numbers may vary, but change them to:
MinPagingFileSize=0
MaxPagingFileSize=0
This will prevent Windows from using the swap file altogether.
HTH,
John
