SUMMARY

This article describes how to insert paging file information using the Msbatch.inf file for batch installations of Windows 95.

MORE INFORMATION

Microsoft does not encourage or support changes to .inf files; therefore, Microsoft Technical Support does not support the procedure in this article. Although we have tested the following procedure and it appears to function as described, make a backup copy of your .inf file before you proceed.

Modify the [Install] section of the Msbatch.inf file to include the following line: 
   UpdateInis=Set.Pagefile
Also, add the following section and parameters: 
   [Set.Pagefile]
   %10%\system.ini,386Enh,,"PagingDrive=C:"
   %10%\system.ini,386Enh,,"MinPagingFileSize=20480"
   %10%\system.ini,386Enh,,"MaxPagingFileSize-20480"
Modify the parameters as necessary if you want to use a different drive or size for the paging file.

NOTE: We recommend letting Windows95 decide the size of the paging file for optimal performance.
