Win2k's pagefile.sys problem?

[WorldsEdge]

Hi, I changed my security setting on all my drives by removing "everyone" and only adding my user name and gave myself full access. The problem now is that win2k cannot create a pagefile when it reboots 🙁 I tried to restore the settings but it still gives me the same error on startup, that it cannot create a pagefile?

Any help out there?

Pagefile access should be assigned to System access right? Give yourself full access and then assign full rights for the System to the page file.

yes, the System needs to have access to system files and directories

But if he removed every logon privilege, doesn't that mean he can never log on as system admin?

he did not remove every logon privilege. He removed the "Everyone" built in group which is recommended. This is not the same thing.
