how can I find and view my pagefile.sys on WINXP HOME

[Steven L Umbach]

It is a hidden file probably in your root directory of the system drive. So
you need to configure Explorer to show hidden files or use the command line
to see it listed. Pagefile.sys can not be view by something like notepad if
that is what you mean by viewing it.

To find: Start > Search

To view: Boot into Linux or from a DOS disk that has been modified to
see NTFS partitions.
