XP pagefile monitor

Hi Thomas,

The XP_PageFileMon.exe file is for installing only. You only have to use
it once. Use the shortcuts the install created to monitor the page file.

From the Readme.txt file included in the zip file:

Installation: Simply extract the contents of the downloaded ZIP file
into the folder of your choice and run the EXE file.

Use as a shutdown script (XP Pro only):

Click Start, Run and enter GPEDIT.MSC Go to Computer Configuration,
Windows Settings, Scripts, Shutdown. Browse to the location you
extracted the EXE file to, and select it.

The first time the program is run, it will ask you if you want to create
shortcuts for the program. You can choose to create the shortcuts only
for the Current User or for All Users. Two shortcuts will be created.
One to run XP_PageFileMon.exe and the other to run it with the command
line switch to allow you to change the options. The shortcuts will be
created in the All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Doug's XP Utilities or
<Username>\Start Menu\Programs\Doug's XP Utilities folder. You can opt
not to create the shortcuts by Cancel. If you want the program to ask
you again, check the Ask me again box, then click Cancel.

The program will then display a dialog asking you to choose the
following parameters:

1) Whether to display the results in a popup window.
2) Popup duration. The time is adjustable from 3, 5, 10, 20, 30, 60
seconds or you can choose Always to display the popup until it is
dismissed manually. If you want another value, just type it in (maximum
of 60 seconds). The popup will dismiss itself and allow the machine to
continue shutting down.
3) Create a log file. If you check this option, you can browse to the
folder of your choice, and select the folder the log file will be
created in. The log file will have the name PageFileLog.txt.

After you've set your options, click Apply and then Exit. This saves
your settings to the Registry. NOTE: You must run the program, the
first time, from an account with Administrator level privileges.

It puts 2 shortcuts in the start menu under Doug's XP utilities , one says
XP Pagefile Monitor, the other says XP Pagefile Monitor (Change settings)
Both does the same thing, ie, change settings, but NO page file monitor...

Hi Thomas,

There should have been three shortcut's created also.

Current Pagefile Size (No Logging)

Current Pagefile Size (Log and Report)

View Pagefile Log

Do a search for one of these file and you should find all three.
