About a System File on my C:\ Drive, why does pagefile.sys appears?

OS: Windows XP SP2


C:\pagefile.sys 737,280kBytes (almost 1GB!)


It seems to be updated every day.


Where does this file come from and why is it needed? I don't think that was originally present.


i'll appreciate any comments, thank you.

This is a temporary file used by the memory manager, when you run out of System memory it uses your hard disk instead, this is slower.





To change it Right Hand mouse click my Computer, Properties,Advanced, Performance
