I am working on a WinXP (Home) PC and suddenly found my C: drive to be
almost full. On further investigation, it appears that I have a massive
pagefile.sys (almost 2GB) file, which I had not seen before.
Looking at the Registry, I found that the value for
'ClearPageFileAtShutdown' was set to zero; so I went and changed it to '1'
and rebooted the computer several times. However, the pagefile.sys file
remains unchanged (i.e. does not disappear or shrink).
What is the best way to deal with this cancer?
