SYMPTOMS
========
If you remove the Everyone group from the root directory permissions of a
Windows NT file system (NTFS) formatted partition that contains the PAGEFILE.SYS
file, the following error message appears when you log on:
Limited Virtual Memory
Your system is running without a properly sized paging file.
Please use the virtual memory option of the System applet in the
Control Panel to create a paging file, or to increase the initial
size of your paging file.
RESOLUTION
==========
To correct this problem, add the Everyone group with Full Control permission to
the NTFS partition that contains the PAGEFILE.SYS file.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Microsoft does not recommend removing the Everyone group from the root directory
permissions of a Windows NT file system (NTFS) formatted partition. By default,
the root directory of a drive is an administrative share in Windows NT.
Therefore, it is not necessary to remove the Everyone group from the root
directory to increase security or prevent certain users on a network to gain
access to your root directory.
