John,
Please be more specific. Are you saying that I should leave everything
within the Primary partition? Games and so forth?
If so 'why'?

None of what you suggest or propose is necessary and any or all of it will
have the opposite results, it will in effect degrade performance.

Windows XP with SP2, or setting up a separate large partition with a few
special folders to place the computer.games individually into.

(?) Also there is the option of setting up a partition for each
individual game
outside the primary Windows XP partition.

Wanting to achieve the best possible environment for the WinXP working
condition I am thinking of moving the Paging File to the first partition
(D)
to improve Win XP's ability to work faster.

Lots of questions and I do appreciate your advice with each possible
setup of my 're-install' of Win XP and partitioning of the 160GB hard
drive.

I thank you for reading this message and hope for positive responses.
