where to find page file

[Guest]

Could you please tell me what is the name of page file
and where I can find it? I want to delete it because I
always got message that says there's no page file or page
file is too small. How can I check if my c drive is
partitioned?

Most likely the system account "Full Control" permissions were removed from
the drive. (note: the system account aka NT Authority is part of the
Everyone group)

Make sure that the System account (NT Authority) has full control of the
%systemdrive% and or the drive your trying to put the pagefile on. My

That name of the page file is pagefile.sys. It is a hidden file, and will be
on the root of the drive it is on. By default, this is your boot drive,
which by default is your C: drive. You really should let Windows manage it
directly, and use the Virtual Memory dialog to change whatever settings you
want, such as making it larger. An informative article on configuring your
page file is at
