So why would using a file be of any advantage? In actual fact, many windows sys admins try to put the windows swap file in its own partition or even on its own disk. So, to me, it seem counter productive to use a file over a partition.
The Hibernate, or suspend to disk, feature in Windows actually gets its own swap file (hiberfil.sys if I recall correctly). It, like the swap file, resides on the root of the system drive by default and is a statically sized file, so they, in theory, do not get moved around or unduly fragmented.

Thanks for the info. I always wondered when I saw that strange hiberfil.sys name what use it might actually be . :-) ___________________________________________________________ To help you stay safe and secure online, we've developed the all new Yahoo! Security Centre. http://uk.security.yahoo.com
