BS!  It depends on what you are terming a swap file.  The swap file which
is only used in 386EM can be disable by the use of a simple paging=no in
the SYSTEM.INI.  If you are speaking of the TEMP files that windows often
creates when printing or swapping out of a dos application in real or
standard mode, then you are correct in saying that you cannot tell windows
to stop creating these files. They are necessary.
