I have 2GB of RAM, three quarters of that is available but Windows is still using 384mb worth of paging file. Is it worth deleting this?

Windows will always use paging file, its dodgy MS approch to real programming but I find if you delete it altogether you lose loads of performance.

please shoot the person that taught you that with a very blunt object.. then give yourself a slap. It was never a MS idea to begin with.

I was in fact Elaine Paige that first thought of the idea whilst writing 'I know him so well' ( tribute to Bill Gates) with Barbara Dickenson, but due to copywrite laws Microsoft had to use 'paging' instead of Paiging.
