Very good point Perris.
Doesn't the page file also not get written to if you open the file remotely, and save it back to the original destination (remote hard drive)?
it's ot, but I did start it didn't I
the pagefile only gets activity if there is no copy for the data in ram..if what's in ram came from any permanent source and has not been modified, none of that ram gets written to the pagefile
if the data came from the local network and you get disconected from that network that would get written to the pagefile
the pagefile is for data that has no other image anywhere it can get
if there is an image somewhere the computer thinks is your working network the pagefile gets nothing from that data
the pagefile is only for new information that has nowhere else to back the data if it needs to get released from memory
anyway, pagefile discussion is off topic and I opologize to the o.p.
any other questions just give me a pm
