I know some people say to retain the Swap File because some functions 
will fail to work properly (like havign multiple windows open while 
others say to kill off the Swap File (and I also read even if killed off
Windows [XP?] will still retain soemthing like 64 MB of Swap, but what 
does Indexing do?  I agree it puts a horrendous drag on the system: when 
I reboot it automatically re-indexes, and the system is definately 
sluggish.  Pause indexing and sluggishness is gone.  I'm just not sure 
what indexing does, so reluctant to turn off and find out the hard way!
