Completely disabling swap is not recommended in Windows. I've never personally tried it on my box with 2 GB of RAM, but I've heard that some programs cease to function when no page file is available.

I've never had any issues with running windows without swap. My xp machine has 1gb of ram and hasn't had swap in years. no problems. Don't believe everything you hear/read.

Heh ... awesome. I'll play around with that the next time I'm at work and have access to some of our more powerful hardware.

Can't say for sure, but I am pretty sure you still have a swap file. Windows does not allow for a zero-size swap. It then creates one automatically.
