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

Well, I'm not an NT user but this file is the swap file of this stupid OS. You cannot delete it. Of course, you can right-click on the "My Computer" Icon and choose "Performance" ( wrong word for NT ). See there the "Virtual Memory" settings. My advice : NEVER put a DW on NT. You'll cry someday.
