Where is pagefile.sys located

[beelow]

I have Windows xp on my computer. I want to change the configuration of my paging file, splitting it between two partitions and two disks. I want to know where this pagefile.sys is exactly located. Anyone who can help me ? Can we move it or change the location?

The paging file (Pagefile.sys) is a hidden file on your computer's hard disk that Windows XP uses as if it were random access memory (RAM). The paging file and physical memory make up virtual memory. By default, Windows stores the paging file on the boot partition (the partition that contains the operating system and its support files). The default paging file size is equal to 1.5 times the total RAM.

If you want to create or modify pagefile.sys, just type REG_DWORD with the value 1:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ SessionManager \ Memory Management

To remove the pagefile.sys :
Go to Virtual Memory Settings by right clicking My Computer
Click on properties
Click on Advanced
Click on no pagefile at all, then reboot the computer.

The paging file does not become fragmented, and this counts as another definite advantage. If a paging file resides on a partition that contains other data, it may experience fragmentation as it expands to satisfy the extra virtual memory that is required.
