I think Perfectdisk by Raxco will do that and the swapfile too.
Get it free as a demo from Raxco. Google it.

If you want a utility that will defrag everything, has a reg cleaner, and an av too, look at FixIt Utilities by OnTrack. My fav. Think you gatta buy it tho.

Well, certain things done with fixit can leave you with a disabled box, such as using file cleaner, and I never use that, just the reg cleaner and the disk fixer and the av. What ver of fixit do you have? There was a release for xp, by the way, older ones won't work well if at all.
