Hello,
A friend wants to move his swap file from the C drive to the D to save disk
space on his too small, old pc.
Any dangers in doing this he should be made aware of? Is it just a matter of
Control Panel-> System -> Performance and selecting the D drive for the virtual
memory?
He is using Windows ME.
Many thanks in advance...
.... Bob

No problem at all. I always do it on my systems.

just be aware it's a little slower, assuming the C and D are partitions on
the same physical disk.
