WinMe - Win386.SWP

If this really worries you, it's not something that I'd be worrying about,
you can limit the size of the swap file as follows Control Panel | System
| Performance | Virtual Memory and check "Let me specify my own virtual
memory settings". My Win Me system (128MB RAM) runs with a VM around
100MB immediately after booting when doing nothing with the size of the VM
increasing as I open and use applications, especially those working with
largish graphics files.

Thanks for your advice.

The only thing I would say is "don't disable it".
