Re: NT : Want to delete the pagefile.sys file

The pagefile.sys is the swapping file or the virtual memory file. It can be put on a different disk by going to control panel -> system -> Performance -> change... button. I tend to put the swap file not on the system disk in the hopes that I can spin both and get some performance benefit. As yet un-proved.
