Right-click "My Computer", select Properties, then the "Performance" tab. 
In the "Advanced Settings..." box, click the "Virtual Memory..." button. 
The VM can be turned off by selecting "Let me manage my own memory
settings" and then the appropriate option.

Afterwards, you can either let Windows retake control, or setup one
yourself to give better performance and no fragmentation of the swapfile. 
Set the maximum and minimum to the same value, which should be around 1.5x
to 2.5x the amount of physical memory you have installed, given enough
space on your HDD.  Of course, if you do lots of memory intensive work (eg
big graphics manipulation), increase this to more.  I have 64MB of RAM and
about 100MB of swapfile, which is IMO fine for normal use (games,
word-processing, surfing etc.)

Mark..
