| How to Clear the Page File at Shutdown |
| Bits and pieces of data lurk in all sorts of unlikely places, all over your computer. One place is in the page file, which is used by XP for swapping out data from physical memory to the hard disk when applications need more memory than you have installed (this is called virtual memory). You can set XP to clear the page file when you shut down, deleting this information, by performing the following: |
| 1. In your favorite Registry Editor, navigate to: |
| HKEY LOCAL MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\MemoryManagement |
| 2. In the right pane, double click the item labeled ClearPageFileAtShutdown |
| 3. In the "Value data" text box, you'll see the default value of 0. Change it to 1 |
| 4. Close the Registry Editor |
| You'll need to reboot for the change to take effect. As always, take care when editing the Registry. |
