Selecting NO PAGING FILE in virtual memory settings

A

Austin

ok.. If I tell it to not have a paging file in the
virtual memory settings, and then I reboot, it says I
still have a paging file.

the paging file is equal to the size of the RAM I have.

My question, is this -

Since it is equal to the size of ram I have and limited
to that size, would it be accurate to say that my paging
file "resides" in RAM now?

Windows XP requires the use of a Page File to function properly.
