What is the file name and default path of the Windows paging file used for virtual memory?

Windows virtual memory does not reside in any one file. Virtual mmeory is actually a system that virtualizes all access to memory and provides a consistent environment that is independent of the size of RAM. Paging occurs to many different files, not just the pagefile. By default the pagefile name is "pagefile.sys" and resides in the root of the system drive. Both the name and location can be changed. In A+ Guide to Managing & Maintaining Your PC Sixth Edition, Page 59 of Chapter 2 "What an Operating System Does" You will find it says: "The data is stored in a file on the hard drive called a SWAP file or PAGE file. The Windows 2000/XP swap file is Pagefile.sys, and the Windows 9x/Me swap file is Win386.swp."
