Some demonstrate a utter lack of understanding of the OS.. You can’t disable virtual memory in windows. You are confusing virtual memory with a pagefile. They are not the same.

I think you should stop giving advice. These are terrible tips and will mislead less experienced “power users”.

My paging Ram is 2gb and I checked to see if my paging file is causing it to loose disk space and that came out to be false.

I then thought could it be the hibernation file system so I went and configured my hiberfil.sys and said disable hibernation = true. I ran a disk clean up after than and it freed up about 25gb of free space…I was happy.

I was suspecious that i can’t be that good to beat MS so I kept a log of what’s happening only to find out that I had lost 1gb of space the following day. Ignored it to find out that I had lost another gb of space in the next 45 mins.

I am startled and out of speech. The solution to regain space i found out was to do a disk clean up and then enable the “clean up restore points” also before running your clean up.

If you do a normal clean up, its not freeing up the space. I came to a conclusion that it has something to do with with the Restore Point.

I have a 230GB Hard Drive but at times it even bottoms out at 150 or even 140. I go and clean the restore point via disk clean up and i get back that disk space I had lost.

I want to know how to stop it from having to clean up the restore point.

Thanks for taking the time to read this…looking forward for some good solutions.

thanks once again.

“If your system has memory of 2G and above, it’s possible to turn off virtual memory and set no paging file at all. In fact, by doing so, Windows will probably run at faster speed. To do so, refer to guidi to manage, change or set paging file size in Vista.”

I’ll refer you to Mark Russinoviches “Windows Internals” chapter 7 on memory management.
