WinXP Clear Page file on shutdown

Posted by Tanmay Patange on 9:30 pm



WINXPCPS.REG (WinXP Clear Page file on shutdown)


This Registration (.REG) file clears the Page file when you power off the computer.
Restart Windows for these changes to take effect!
ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR SYSTEM BEFORE MAKING ANY CHANGES!


Browse to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ System \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ Session Manager \ Memory Management


and add the DWORD variable "ClearPageFileAtShutdown"=dword:00000001


You can also do this without reg hacking.
Go to Control panel Administartative tools, local security policy. then goto local policies ---> security options.
Then change the option for "Shutdown: Clear Virtual Memory Pagefile"




Note - Use at your Own Risk!
