Access Denied & Unable to Change Attribute "pagefile.sys"

Using C-Cleaner to Analyze Disk C " Win " it said that Sys File "pagefile.sys" is allocating 3.2 GB atC:\ C-Cleaner pagefile.sys
The Problem is When i Open C:\ , I can't see the File with "Show hidden File "
When Trying to change Attribute by Command Atrrib -h -r -s *.*, it says Command Attrib

So MY Question is
1) How C-Cleaner Could See pafefile.sys while I Couldn't with Administrative privileges
2) How Can i overcome Access Denied & Unable to change Attribute Problem

Solution

  • 1) How C-Cleaner Could See pafefile.sys while I Couldn't with Administrative privileges

    You can easily view PAGEFILE.SYS by doing DIR/A.

    2) How Can i overcome Access Denied & Unable to change Attribute Problem

    The operating system is not going to allow you to muck with the page file directly.
