Why each option
In Windows XP, virtual memory (paging file) settings are configured under the Advanced tab of System Properties, within the Performance Options dialog.
The Remote Desktop tab in Windows XP System Properties controls remote access settings and has no virtual memory configuration options.
Remote Settings is a label used in Windows Vista and later, not Windows XP, and it also pertains to remote access rather than virtual memory.
The Hardware tab in Windows XP System Properties provides access to Device Manager and hardware profiles, not virtual memory or performance settings.
In Windows XP, opening System in Control Panel and selecting the Advanced tab exposes a Performance section with a Settings button. Within Performance Options, a second Advanced tab contains the Virtual Memory section where the paging file size and location can be modified. This multi-level Advanced tab path is the correct location for adjusting virtual memory in Windows XP.
