Windows virtual memory or page file

Here is also another way of viewing or changing your Windows 7’s page file without right-clicking on My Computer.

• In the Start Menu search box, enter “Advanced System Settings”, without double quotes, then select Control Panel applet from the list that appears.
• Select View advanced system settings.
• In Performance Options window, select Advanced tab then Settings.
• Under Virtual memory, click Change.
  • 
• You can then customize the settings of the page file on the next window that appears. You can select between Custom size, System managed size, or No paging file.
  • 

Also remember not to select the No paging file option. This might make your operating system unstable because Windows can’t run without a swap file or page file. Just click OK then restart your computer for the new changes to take effect.
