   	Actually Windows will let you change the size or eliminate the paging   
   partitions or file. From the Windows side and I have only reduced   
   the size with a new Windows install made by branded outfits like Compaq,   
   Dell and HP.  	Running Windows to redo partition sizes or change the   
   paging file size is a dirty job but for people who like to install Linux   
   sometime you have to get down in the Microsoft Muck.
