i changed the settings in security policy editor to clear the pagefile
on shutdown and then went to regedit to check the value as per ms
website:

"Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
2. Change the data value of the ClearPageFileAtShutdown value in
the following registry key to a value of 1:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager\Memory Management
If the value does not exist, add the following value:
Value Name: ClearPageFileAtShutdown
Value Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1"

i find the reg_dword value is set to 4 not 1

is this value indicating the pagefile is being cleared???

Yes,

the Indicator "1" clears the Pagefile.

Did you try restarting the system and then checking the registry value?
Some changes made in the various computer management windows take effect on
the next restart.

PS : Sorry but I don't know what 4 signifies for that particular registry
value.

Valid values are 0 and 1.

It is a binary field: 0 - off or 1 - on. Any value other than 1 will most
likely yield the same results - off.
