This can be confussing. I have updated the post per your recommendation. Thx FYI, on something that may help you. I've heard and used 2 methods for best practices on the actual VM: 1. Turn off the page file and allocate more memory as needed. Improves performance. 2. On Windows, change to allow Windows to manage the swap file. Maximizes memory. Hope this helps! Joe Chris,

This means the swap file for each individual guest VM (which is what I am looking for). So like I said, The best practice is correct, just change the title and remove the word "Guest".
