    Any error message?

    What happens if you have the situation in the link below, ignore the error, and you try to copy files and directories or move files and directories from remote workstations into the root of the drive?

    I would imagine you would repeatedly get the same error message until you add the Everyone group with Full Control permission to the NTFS partition that contains the PAGEFILE.SYS file.

    I suppose it would depend on how much ram you have installed compared to the total size of the files you're moving. The Page File comes into play as you run low on memory.
    The only barrier to knowledge is the perception that you already have it.

    Removing Everyone On Root Dir. Leaves Limited Virtual Memory
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/130016/en-us
    SYMPTOMS

    If you remove the Everyone group from the root directory permissions of a Windows NT file system (NTFS) formatted partition that contains the PAGEFILE.SYS file, the following error message appears when you log on:
    Limited Virtual Memory
    Your system is running without a properly sized paging file.
    Please use the virtual memory option of the System applet in the
    Control Panel to create a paging file, or to increase the initial
    size of your paging file.

    RESOLUTION

    To correct this problem, add the Everyone group with Full Control permission to the NTFS partition that contains the PAGEFILE.SYS file.

    MORE INFORMATION

    Microsoft does not recommend removing the Everyone group from the root directory permissions of a Windows NT file system (NTFS) formatted partition. By default, the root directory of a drive is an administrative share in Windows NT. Therefore, it is not necessary to remove the Everyone group from the root directory to increase security or prevent certain users on a network to gain access to your root directory.

    I think it's more a question of whether anyone still has Windows NT 3.1 or 3.5 lying around...

    Thanks,
    I wonder if XP or XP Pro uses this paging file also.
