ARCHIVED: In Microsoft Windows 3.x, how do I limit the size of the temporary swap file?

Note: The software discussed here is no longer in common use at Indiana University, and UITS may no longer be able to verify the document's accuracy. The UITS Support Center may no longer have the manuals and other materials required to support this software adequately.

In Windows 3.1 and Windows for Workgroups 3.11, you can add a line to the "[386Enh]" section of the system.ini file to limit the temporary swap file's size, for example: MinUserDiskSpace=4096 The above line doesn't actually set the size of the swap file, but rather limits its growth so that it will always retain at least 4,096KB (4MB) of available disk space for your applications to use.

Note: This information originally came from the Microsoft Windows 3.x FAQ maintained by Tom Haapanen and Software Metrics, Inc. This FAQ is no longer available. If you have problems with Windows 3.1, visit the Windows 3.1 FAQ sponsored by Logical Sky Corporation.
