What is this hidden large file?

[Satoshi]

By chance, I noticed that a big hidden file (805 MB)under c:\.
The name of the file is "pagefile.sys".
I do not know whether it was created by WinXP (Pro) or by a program during
installation.
Can I delete this file? Satoshi

Hi,

That is the WinXP virtual memory, best left alone.
