I understand that Virtual needs its disk I think a way exists to "lock down" files so that DiskExpress won't touch them while optimizing, this should probably occur for any vm swapfile. Personally, I think DiskExpress is a well written & designed utility, but I think it's a bit compulsive to have to have yur HD optimized everyday. I find the constant disk access annoying, as it tries to optimize while I'm using a word processor and trying to think... >>> yahnke@macc.wisc.edu <<<
