disable pre-emptive swapping in windows xp

If I leave my XP pc for a while, it seems to swap most of my processes to disc. I come back to use it after X hours/days and each process takes 10-30s to get going as it loads it in off disc. It seems to pre-emptively swap applications to disc which may have made sense in an era of very low ram, but these days with plenty of ram to spare it seems harmful.
