look at the very top..

;for 16 bit support..

32bit apps won't use it. don't sweat it. you're fine..

 

Funny there is no value for ConservativeSwapfileUsage= and MaxPhysPage=

 

Give me some value please.
I've got 256mb sdram
20gb HD

 

Those values are not added to the System.ini by default, so if you have no idea what they are for then I suggest you put a ";" infront of them so they are not used by Windows.

I know what ConservativeSwapfileUsage is only for win98, not winxp.
But MaxPhysPage is new for me, but i whould like to know the value, not to be ignorante about it.

 

WinXP doesn't use the values in the System.ini, only there for old Windows Applications. (Like Kodo said)
In Win9x the MaxPhysPage puts a limit on how much memory Windows is allowed to use. (Sometimes used if having more than 1 GB of memory in Win9x)
The MS KB articles in my previous post explains both values.

 

So why are there a bunch of crap in my system.ini? Is it better to remove them or that?

 

The System.ini with its settings is required for backward compatbility with old Windows Applications.(Like Kodo said)

The other "crap" settings comes from using applying tweaks meant for other operating systems than WinXP (By own hand or by using obsolete Tweak programs).
