How can I move my virtual memory file (paging file, swap file) to another
drive and get Windows to recognize it? I am using Windows XP Home Edition.
Thanks,
Steven

....it's in there. You should leave a 60mb pagefile.sys on the Windows
drive, and your large "System managed" pagefile.sys on the first drive of
your second hard disk.
