Hi,

I have a 768 megabyte pagefile. I read somewhere, that the >page file< is
supposed to clear on shut down.Does it do any harm? Should I try to clear
it manually ??
Advice appreciated. Phil
O.S. XP with latest updates.

1. The page file usually is not wiped out when Windows shuts down.
2. This is also not necessary except on machines where a high security
level is needed.
