kinda weird... this is how only 2000/XP works or any NT above too ?

btw if pagefile is completely disabled & deleted why does Taskmanager in process list under "VM size" shows any VM usage at all ? same goes for Everest under Motherboard -> Memory ?

hah... that sucks for uninformed people... thanks for clearing it up

will try tho last time i got that yellow "attention" icon in sys tray and popup by windows saying "vm is to low bla bla bla, windows is resizing page file size"... funny thing now, even if my PF is deleted and non existant System Info and Everest still report it exists and is being used while defragmenter i use (not by MS) and Task Manager don't see the PF :S

registry editing helped (thanks !) and yes i always hit "set" before apply but it seems OS leaves pagefile.sys to be there, had to remove it via unlocker... only then i could re-enter new (small) values i wonder, if i may ask another question when i re-entered smaller values (min 2MB, max 4MB) can be something be done so OS doesn't automaticly starts to resize PF ? as i only wish to leave small PF for minidumps if BSOD happens but nothing above 1 or 2 MB, so the RAM can take everything else isntead HDD ?

so using XP SP3 Pro tried to lower my PF to 2 MB, rebooted OS only enlarged it then ticked to disable it, rebooted no effect any help on why this happening ?

will try with KernelEx then thanks for info guys

i try to run 1 prog made for winME but it reports that PSAPI.DLL is missing so i downloaded one from dll-files.com but then i get error message from program "PSAPI.DLL is linked to missing export NTDLL.DLL" the dll can't even be registered to regsvr32 and via google i can't find any compatible psapi.dll for winME any help ?

you would need to resource hack and change over dozen dll's and few other files wich would probably at the end bring system breakdown and incompatibility with some apps as i see you didn't even took time to find that out, theres realy no point to teach you

at the cost(s) of users and their bad experience of OS or games

so lazzyness is answer

i'd like to know why they removed it in first place ...

doubt they will ever make improved version of NTFS maybe when WinFS becomes finished to attach itself onto NTFS
