I have recently installed Windows XP Pro on a new laptop. I've applied
service pack 2 as well as all applicable hotfixes from MS Update.
My account is an Administrator on the machine. I now go into System
Properties and change the paging file settings to a custom size, 3000 initial
size and 3000 maximum size. I click the Set button, then OK and so on until
I exit System Properties. I get the message telling me to reboot the system.
I do so. Upon logging back in I notice the paging file is still the same
size as it had been before I made the change! No messages indicating an
error in event logs.
Now, I reboot the box and go into Safe mode. Voila, the paging file size
has now changed to the size I set. Good. Reboot and go on about business.
However, upon logging in I see that the paging file has again gone back to
its original size!
What is going on here?
