It may not be the best idea for most people, but contrary to your
*opinion*, it can be done.

That was your /proof/

You offered no proof at all up to that point.

of someone showing a walk-through for newbies on
how to use the config UI on setting the paging space allocation (for
\pagefile.sys)? You couldn't find better *technical* evidence to
support your claim?

Three additional links in another post. Perhaps you missed it.

Zeroing the paging space by using the config UI does *not* eliminate
the presence of paging space when you boot an NT-based version of
Windows.

This has proliferated into each NT-based version and includes BOTH
server and workstation versions.

Setting the paging space to zero using the config UI results in no
pagefile.sys paging file but instead of creating an on-the-fly
temporary temppf.sys paging file on Windows startup. pagefile.sys
and temppf.sys are both paging files.

Perhaps you should have a look at the reply preceding mine.
