Clear the PageFile on shutdown


The Pagefile.sys is used for the Virtual Memory of Windows (compensates RAM).

Clearing it make your system more secure (temporary data may be written in the pagefile.sys and accessed without having administrator privileges).


To enable this, go to Start - ‘Run’ and type regedit.exe.

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management and double click the ClearPageFileAtShutdown key.


Change it value to 1 in decimal. Restart your computer.
