That tells me the size of the file on the disk I believe.

I want to know what percentage of the file is currently being used. In other words, how much memory is currently swapped out to the disk drive.

Older versions of Windows used to have "%pagefile in use": "Paging File, %pagefile in use: This counter is a measure of how much of the pagefile is actually being used. Use this counter to determine whether the pagefile is an appropriate size. If this counter reaches 100, the pagefile is full..." http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2160852

1)right click on taskbar. Start task manager, After you open it info will be there. You may have to calculate a little.

Is it on the Performace / Memory page?

Which fields do I need to use in the calculation: In Use; Available; Committed; Cached; Paged pool; Non-paged pool?

Thanks.
