Re: Paging file is gone?!

Name of file = pagefile.sys

To investigate how you are using hard disk space you need to make sure that
you can see all files. Go to Start, Control Panel, Folder Options, View,
Advanced Settings and verify that the box before "Show hidden files and
folders" is checked and "Hide protected operating system files " is
unchecked. You may need to scroll down to see the second item. You should
also make certain that the box before "Hide extensions for known file types"
is not checked. Next in Windows Explorer make sure View, Details is selected
and then select View, Choose Details and check before Name, Type, Total
Size, and Free Space.

Hi,

I got my paging file set between 2G and 3G (512M RAM). The system has
currently allocated 1.2G and I've been loading a 1G picture file. So the
paging file works (well)!
But, I cannot find the paging file anywhere in the system. I assume it is
called pagefile.sys or pagingfile.sys but those files are nowhere to find,
not on the C drive neither on the D drive. I used Search and looked
everywhere in all folders including invisible folders and files. My
account
name is JOHN (so not 'administrator') but the status of my account is
nonetheless ADMINISTRATOR. So there shouldn't any problem with that.

How is the paging file called?
Are there any other names for the paging file than pagefile.sys or
pagingfile.sys?

regards
