Free Page File

[Fungiver]

Here is the reg route to setup XP to clear pagefile on shutdown. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\MemoryManagement. Highlight MemoryManagement and in the right pane right click on Clear Pagefile At Shutdown Click modify and change the O to 1.

fungiver...good to see you again

as far as your last post, that does nothing for performance

the contents of the pagefile are ignored on the next boot...for all purposes but debugging, the pagefile is in essence, already deleted each time you boot.

the registry hack you are looking at simply overwrites the pagefile with zeros, with the idea that this is harder for a person to crack your information.

personally, this is a waste of time, even for those that need the extra security, as a simple overwrite of zero's will hardly keep anyone who knows enough to get to the pf in the first place from reading it anyway
