Modifying virtual memory using a package

Question

I am making a program that uses a package to improve PC performance, and now I have come to the conclusion that I need to edit the Windows virtual memory to a size that I can change in the code. if necessary, this can be done in .reg, as I can get the batch file to execute it. can anyone help. My os is Windows 7, maximum 32 bit

This is how I do it, it’s much easier to edit than the .reg file, because the registry stores this field as a hex element. Also included is a script with two page files, if you need to delete , d:\pagefile.sys 4096 4096 for one c: \ pagefile.

 start /wait /b powershell -command "Set-ItemProperty -Path 'registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management' -Name 'PagingFiles' -Value 'c:\pagefile.sys 1024 1024, d:\pagefile.sys 4096 4096'" # 

Here is the registry version with the same settings, but as you can see, it cannot be edited directly.

 Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management] "PagingFiles"=hex(7):63,00,3a,00,5c,00,70,00,61,00,67,00,65,00,66,00,69,00,6c,\ 00,65,00,2e,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,20,00,31,00,30,00,32,00,34,00,20,00,31,00,\ 30,00,32,00,34,00,2c,00,20,00,64,00,3a,00,5c,00,70,00,61,00,67,00,65,00,66,\ 00,69,00,6c,00,65,00,2e,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,20,00,34,00,30,00,39,00,36,00,\ 20,00,34,00,30,00,39,00,36,00,00,00,00,00 

For a true batch method, reg.exe may be an alternative to scill powershell. But the syntax is straight up binary. See the final JRV post in this thread.

This will need to be rewritten with the exact hexadecimal of all the settings you make.

 REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\ShellBrowser" /v "{83E8BF99-F3C0-4475-B453-9F9E8E4548C3}" /t REG_BINARY /d 09bfe883c0f37544b4539f

I am not an expert on this, but if you mean the size of the page file, it seems to live in the registry at:

HKLM \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ Session Manager \ Memory Management \ PagingFiles

and this is the name of the page file, followed by its minimum and maximum sizes specified in MB, separated by a space.

I don’t know if this has changed as a result of something and I would not want to experiment too much on my machine, but it can make you start ...
