Default Swap file to 2nd physical HDD?

Salut/Hi Ron Martell,

Following up on my previous..

Get the free Page File usage utility written by MVP Bill James from
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_pagefilemon.htm or from
http://billsway.com/notes_public/WinXP_Tweaks/ and use it to see how
much actual usage is being made of the page file.

This is also the best way to assess the potential benefits from adding
more RAM. Generally an actual page file usage of 40 mb or more on a
regular basis is an indicator that more RAM would have a beneficial
effect on overall performance.


I got the utility, and copied it to its own little subdirectory. I then ran
it, and got the little window with the parameters to be filled in. However,
no matter what I filled in, the program fails to recognise that it isn't
being run for the first time, and doesn't show a window with or without swap
file usage.

Do you or does anyone else know what could be causing this odd behaviour?
