I have Win 2K on C partition and XP Pro on F partition of the same hard drive. I am running 512 megs of ram. Should I by default have a swap file on both C and F partitions or should it only be on C partition? If only on the C partition, I assume XP would use that swap file if needed?

Recently I have noticed that when I open My Computer and then right click a partition, that it takes 10-15 seconds for the right click menu to appear. Once I have gone through this wait time and if I leave My Computer open, then the right click menu appears very fast on any and all partitions...

I read a reference to event sound wav files that were included with the beta versions of XP but these same wav files did not make it to the final edition. The article I read said they were better quality wav files and clearer. The article indicated that they were still out there in cyber land...
