Clear Page File At Shutdown

Operating system window 2000 \ XP \Me \ 2003

Category Memory Management

windows make some files on a hard disk drive that back up committed physical memory. These files are called Page files. This tweak Specifies whether inactive pages in the paging file are filled with zeros when the system stops. This is a Windows 2000 security feature which prevents the pages from being read by another process. The system cannot fill active pages with zeros because some are being used by the system or other remaining active processes.
