PagingFiles (Standard 8 Module Reference)
7/8/2014
Review the applicable Embedded Core modules and any examples for the PagingFiles setting in Windows Embedded 8 Standard (Standard 8).
This setting specifies the file name of one or more page files for the Windows Embedded 8 Standard (Standard 8) installation.
By default, this setting is empty, indicating that no page file is to be used.
With this setting, you can specify other details for page files, such as the minimum and maximum size and the location of each page file, or they can be managed automatically by Standard 8. If you want to use additional page files, separate the information for each page file with a single space.
Note
The use of pages files is incompatible with the File-Based Write Filter (FBWF) and Enhanced Write Filter (EWF) modules. If you have included one of those modules in your image, the PagingFiles setting should not be set.
The following table shows the possible values.
