Doesn't make sense in my case - I only use manually mounted containers.

That's the funny thing - I don't use encrypted partitions, and
Truecrypt didn't ask me about the pagefile.
There wasn't any need for Truecrypt to change that setting, and
disabling the pagefile makes most computers unusable...
