I am working on a WinXP (Home) PC and suddenly found my C: drive to be almost full. On further
investigation, it appears that I have a massive pagefile.sys (almost 2GB) file, which I had not
seen before.
Looking at the Registry, I found that the value for 'ClearPageFileAtShutdown' was set to zero; so
I went and changed it to '1' and rebooted the computer several times. However, the pagefile.sys
file remains unchanged (i.e. does not disappear or shrink).
What is the best way to deal with this cancer?
