If you create the separate partition dedicated only to the pagefile, can you "render"
it invisible to the normal user.
Want to make sure in My Computer or Windows Explorer that the user of the machine
isn't tempted to play around with the drive.
Thought you may be able to set permissions only to System, or something similar,
but am not familiar enough with Win2K to know all the repercussions.
