Win 95 does let you set it.  I do my self.  Just make sure you set it high 
enough. I have 40 Megs of actual ram.   After defraging my HD I set the swap 
file to a Min of 40 megs and a Max of 40 Megs.  This creates a Permanent swap 
file rather than  tempoary one.  I figure if your asking this question I do 
not have to go into why a permanent is better.  Also by doing this along with 
setting my vcache manually in system.ini I have completely stopped that little 
problem of my Hard drive just taking off when I am doing nothing.   What I 
have done in affect is stopped the Swap file from shrinking.

Hope this helps
