Hi,

Even though my pagefile is set to 758mb min and max, and Sysinfo shows it
as existing, performance monitor shows it as being used, and the
pagefile.sys= command is in the Registry, I can't find the file!

I'm searching for the file, using find hidden and system files, and still I
can't see it in c:\, where the Registry tells me it's located.

Does anyone know why?

Thanks,
Kyle

Did you reverse both setting in Folder Options>View that hides files and
folders? There's show "hidden" and a little bit further down you'll find
show "protected."

In addition to show system and hidden files, configure explorer to not
hide protected operating system files.
