Win386.swp File Is Moved When You Set a Custom Virtual Memory Size
This article was previously published under Q240196
After you set a custom virtual memory size, you may notice that the Win386.swp file is moved from the C:\<
windir> folder to the root of drive C (or to the root of the drive that you set to host your Windows paging file).
This behavior is by design and to inform anyone examining the computer that a custom virtual memory setting has been selected.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
