Hey Mr Fister,

 

What are your system specs? If you have enough RAM, you could get rid of the pagefile.sys. You can also move it to a different drive, if you have one.

With 10GB of memory, you should be fine without a page file. This file basically contains data from the RAM that is not currently used. If you never fully use your memory, you should be just fine without a page file.

You other option is to move it to a second drive (if you have such).

"Moving the Page File to Another Drive

 

1. For Windows Vista, 7 and 8, right click on Computer -> Advanced system settings -> Performance Settings -> Advanced -> Virtual memory Change. For XP right click on My Computer -> Advanced -> Performance Settings -> Advanced -> Virtual memory Change.The Advanced window will also show the amount of memory being used for the page file.

 

2. The Virtual memory window itself is the same in XP and newer operating systems apart from Vista and above will have a tick box called “Automatically manage paging file size for all drives”. This will need unticking to continue.

 

3. To move the page file, make sure C: is highlighted and select “No paging file”, then press Set.

 

4. Next, select the drive you want to move the pagefile.sys to, click on “System managed size” and press Set again. Then click OK and reboot."

 

"From the same Virtual Memory window.

 

1. Click on any drives in the window that have a paging file set, select “No paging file” and click the Set button. Make sure all drives have None in the size column. The changes will take effect after a reboot."
