No, there isn't.. but it does not work on any volume other than C:! I have 4 other volumes attached.
But, what the heck. It's something to try!

I'm trying to set Windows 2008 (x64) to use a page file on the D: drive. However, it just does not seem to want to comply. First, I used the built in GUI tools. I set the C: drive to 800-1024, and the D: drive to 34000. I committed my settings with "Set" and rebooted. After reboot, C: was set to 800, but nothing was changed on D:. I verified in the registry, and the settings are accurate. (Also in the GUI still) I've check drive permissions, but they seem to be in order. So, I removed the page file on D: and I attempted to set it with wmic: wmic.exe pagefileset create name="D:\pagefile.sys" wmic pagefileset where name="D:\\pagefile.sys" set InitialSize=17000,MaximumSize=17000 Both commands came back successful. I rebooted. Nothing on D:, but the GUI and registry setting complement each other. I removed the page file from C: and tried to set it on D: only. After rebooting windows reports that a temporary page file was created. Sure enough. On my C: drive is a page file that is 16G (the equivalent of physical memory) I've tried other drives that I attached as well. Same situation. What is going on here? I appreciate the help.
