It's called pagefile.sys, and is a hidden system file which lives in the
root directory.

The equivalent is pagefile.sys - you will normally have it in the root
of C:, have Folder Options - View set to show Hidden files, and *not*
Hide Protected mode ones to be able to see it. It is not handled in
the same way as in Win98 - read my page at www.aumha.org/win5/a/xpvm.htm
before trying to tune it
