In all modern versions of Windows these settings are in the registry, not in configuration files. An interface is provided for the more common settings but should only be changed by someone who understands the implications. Anyone who does not know how to acces these settings clearly should not be touching them.

What happens if you have no virtual memory?
If you are using a modern version of Windows (Windows 95 or latter) you will be using virtual memory. Virtual memory is NOT the pagefile and it is not an extension to physical RAM but a system that is completely integrated into the system. Applications access virtual memory exclusively, no exceptions, ever. You can not disable virtual memory. You can disable the pagefile (not recommended) but this will not disable virtual memory. The system provides a virtual environment to processes that is completely independent of how much RAM is in the system. This is an advanced system that provides many important advantages to applications and users.

Why are segmentation and paging sometimes combined into one scheme?
Segments can be of different lengths, so it is harder to find a place for a segment in memory than a page. With segmented virtual memory, we get the benefits of virtual memory but we still have to do dynamic storage allocation of physical memory. In order to avoid this, it is possible to combine segmentation andpaging into a two-level virtual memory system. Each segment descriptor points to page table for that segment.This give some of the advantages of paging (easy placement) with some of the advantages of segments (logical division of the program). ok hope wil b helfill
