What is pagefile.sys?
   Pagefile.sys is a windows system files, acts as swap file and was designed to improve performance. Windows uses it as RAM in case the application you're running on your computer ends up needing more RAM than you actually have. Usually page file is 1.5 times than your actual physical memory size, it is the recommended minimum size. The maximum size is 3 times than your actual physical memory size. Pagefile.sys is a hidden file. It means that you could see it in windows file manager only if you checked 'Show hidden files and folders' in Folder Options.

How to Move pagefile.sys to another Drive?

  • Right click on "My Computer", or the "Computer" item in your start menu and click on properties.
  • In Windows 7 click on the Advanced system settings link.
  • Click on the Advanced tab.and then under Performance, click Settings.
  • Click the Advanced tab, and then under Virtual memory, click Change.
  • In the Drive [Volume Label] list, click a drive other than the one on which Windows is installed (Windows is usually installed on the drive C). Under Total paging file size for all drives, note the value that is displayed next to Recommended.
  • Click Custom size, and then type the recommended value in the Initial size (MB) box.
  • Type the maximum size that you want to allow for paging in the Maximum size (MB) box, and then click Set.
  • In the Drive [Volume Label] box, click the drive on which Windows is installed (usually the drive C), and then use one of the following steps:
  • If you do not want a paging file on the drive, click No paging file, and then click Set. A message similar to the following message appears:
  • If the pagefile on volume C: has an initial size of less than 126 megabytes, then the system may not be able to create a debugging information file if a STOP error occurs.
  • Continue anyway?
  • Click Yes.
  • If you want to keep the minimum size of the paging file on the drive, click Custom size, and then type a value that is equal to or greater than the amount of RAM in the computer in the Initial size (MB) box. Type that same value in the Maximum size (MB) box, and then click Set.

The computer registry is very important in the overall operation of the computer, it is recommended that a backup be done on the system before attempting this.

5 Things You Never Knew Your Cell Phone Could Do


For all the folks with cell phones. (This should be printed and kept in your car, purse, and wallet. Good information to have with you.)

There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies. Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival. Check out the things that you can do with it:

1. Emergency 

The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile network and there is an Emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly, this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out. 



2.Have you locked your keys in the car? Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone: 


  If you lock your keys In the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their cell phone from your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other 'remote' for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk). 


Editor's Note: It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car over a cell phone!' 



3.Hidden Battery Power 



Imagine your cell battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370#. Your cell phone will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your cell phone next time. 



4.How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone? 



To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following Digits on your phone: *#06#. A 15-digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe.

When your phone get stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.
  
And Finally.... 



5.Free Directory Service for Cells 



Cell phone companies are charging us $1.00 to $1.75 or more for 411 information calls when they don't have to. Most of us do not carry a telephone directory in our vehicle, which makes this situation even more of a problem.. When you need to use the 411 information option, simply dial: (800)FREE411, or (800) 373-3411 without incurring any charge at all. Program this into your cell phone now.

This is the  kind of information people don't mind receiving, so pass it on to your family and friends !!!
