Paging File (swap file) question

[Guest]

How can I move my virtual memory file (paging file, swap file) to another
drive and get Windows to recognize it? I am using Windows XP Home Edition.
Thanks,
Steven

Start | Control Panel | System | Advanced Performance | Settings | Advanced
| Virtual Memory | Change

....it's in there. You should leave a 60mb pagefile.sys on the Windows
drive, and your large "System managed" pagefile.sys on the first drive of
your second hard disk.
