Comments on: XP: Prevent Windows Kernel From Using PagingExecutive Function http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/241/xp-prevent-windows-kernel-from-using-pagingexecutive-function/ Computer and technology tutorials and guides Fri, 10 Feb 2012 12:22:53 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Spike http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/241/xp-prevent-windows-kernel-from-using-pagingexecutive-function/comment-page-1/#comment-25578 Spike Mon, 01 Dec 2008 21:00:00 +0000 guid-fix-me!#comment-25578 Agree with the comment that the paging process swaps out infrequently used stuff rather than trying to make the Kernel run somewhere else than in RAM. I have an XP system with a 2 Gb CompactFlash pretending to be a hard disk. It has about 0.9 Gb free, and the system has 0.5 Gb main memory, which I am sure is enough for my primitive needs. I would rather have XP dump infrequently used data than to try to write it to the CompactFlash. Whether or not I use the Control Panel to specify "no page file," XP refuses to create a page file--not sure whether this is because it has identified C: as Removable, or whether it is unable to allocate its recommended 0.75 Gb contiguously. I have the system in a state where it no longer nags me, but I saw this Registry entry and followed a Google search here. Separately, Toshiba suspend/resume seems to crash on suspend if a page file is not present, and I'm hoping it will not crash if I disable the entire paging executive. --Spike, Brentwood NH Agree with the comment that the paging process swaps out infrequently used stuff rather than trying to make the Kernel run somewhere else than in RAM.
