How to modify NT 4 and Win95/98 to use same swap file

[evergreen96]

I read some where that NT 4/Window can share the swap file (pagefile.sys in NT, win86.swp in win). I know that you can only use this on a seperate partition (Fat 16). Does any1 know how to do this. I can free about 128 MB of file space.

Set the page file to a static size (min = max) in NT4. In Win9x, edit System.ini:

...

[386Enh]
;PagingDrive=X: (puts win386.swp on root directory; not needed if next line is used
PagingFile=X:\pagefile.sys ; (same location as NT4)
MinPagingFileSize=327680 ; (MB * 1024)
MaxPagingFileSize=327680 ; (MB * 1024)
ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1

;MinFileCache=MaxFileCache=25% of RAM in MB * 1024 KB/MB
MinFileCache=65536
MaxFileCache=65536
Chunksize=512
NameCache=2048
DirectoryCache=48
