Windows 2000 swap space

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.file_system (More info?)

Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local
Policies\Security Options "Shutdown:Clear virtual memory pagefile" set to
'Enabled'

But I doubt that is it. You can use Task Manager and or Performance Monitor
to see what process is consuming the cpu/mem
