Is there any function that I can force the system to allcate physical
storage on disk NOT in RAM?

I'm not sure what you want to do exactly, but by using a memory mapped file
rather than the page file as the backing store for some structure it, and by
updating the file when the in-memory data changes ( see FlushViewofVile() )
you may be able to do what I _think_ you want to do. :-)

Will
