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.
