    windows95 swap file. In use. vb help.

    I want to be able to read the Swap file in windows95, I found a VB hex editor but I do not have permission to read the file. What would I need to do to be able to view its content? I know it's always in use by windows.

    the file is locked for reading and writing while windows is running. this is to prevent other programs from reading it's contents which could cause serious memory protection problems.

    the only program that can read a locked file is the program the locked it.

    why ar eyou trying to do this anyway?
