Windows XP and the Pagefile

[PsharkJF]

Kind of in an odd situation here. About two years ago, I partitioned my one eighty gig drive the following way:

C: 8 GB (Windows partition)
E: Rest of drive (Games/Data/Stuff partition)

..and I installed XP SP1 on the C drive. Needless to say, with the SP upgrade, mountains of updates, and lots of other stuff, I'm having a hard time keeping the C partition to 2 gigs free. My question is this, can I tell windows to put the (1.5 gig) pagefile on the E: drive? Space isn't near as much of a concern there (I have 20/~66 gigs free there at the moment)

System Properties -> Advanced -> Performance -> Settings -> Advanced -> Virtual memory -> Change

Pretty self explanatory from there.

Why not expand your XP partition with Gparted?

It's so sad that common sense can't be taught...
