  2. Clear Pagefile on Shutdown


    I've been looking into clearing the pagefile, and I found the following steps at a somewhat dated webpage:
    1. In the registry editor, navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management
    2. Set ClearPageFileAtShutdown to the REG_DWORD value of 1.
    3. Restart Windows.
    I'm just wondering whether those steps are still valid, and, if so, does clearing the pagefile work as advertised?

    Moving the pagefile

    Hi John.

    If you are simply wanting to gain space from another partition I would suggest using a free third party partition management tool. The tools built into windows are fairly limited.

    Using a good third party tool would be easier and possibly safer.

    A screen shot of the disk management window may give a better understanding of the issue.

    As far as easy Step by step for moving the pagefile.

    click Start type advanced System Settings and select view advanced system settings

    in the system properties window on the advanced tab,

    in the performance section click the Settings button

    in the Performance Options Window select the Advanced tab

    under Virtual Memory click the Change button

    [note : do not completely remove all paging files if there is no paging file at all the system may have problems booting]

    untick "automatically manage paging files..."

    select the drive that currently has no paging file

    either set a custom size or select system managed size

    click Set

    then select the drive with the existing paging file from the list at the top,

    select "no Paging File" and click Set

    click Ok

    The computer will need to be restarted for the changes to take affect.

    Moving the pagefile

    I have Windows 10 in the C: partition of my PC, i.e.the first partition. Gradually the C: drive has gained more and more files and I have tried to extend it by first deleting the next partition on the drive. I found that I could not do this as Windows had placed the pagefile in that partition.

    Any attempt to find out how to move the pagefile has resulted in finding a lot of complex technical jargon which I could not understand.

    Would someone please let me know if there is a simple, step by step, solution to what should not be a difficult problem.

    I look forward to hearing from you.
