    Desktops clear upon shutdown?


    I am thinking of setting up multiple desktops for my different workflows (I do a lot of complex things from stocks to programming), each with special layouts that I find bothersome to reopen every time I want to switch activities. Is there a way for these layouts to stay even after I shut down my computer for a few hours?

    If not, is there an application that allows you to do layout setups like this?

    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?

    ShutDown button in desktop (Win-10)

    Hi Marcel,

    Thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

    You can create shortcut for Shutdown, restart and sleep by following the below steps:

    • First right-click on the desktop, choose New and then Shortcut.
    • In the shortcut location box, you’ll need to enter the correct command, which I’ve listed for you below.
    • For Shutdown type the below command:
    Shutdown.exe -s -t 00

    • For Restart type the below command:
    Shutdown.exe -r -t 00

    • For Sleep type the below command:
    rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState 0,1,0

    After you click Finish, you should now have a new icon that you can double-click to immediately shutdown, restart, or lock your computer.

    Hope this information helps, for further assistance please reply.

    Desktops clear upon shutdown?

    ShutDown button in desktop (Win-10)

    yeah it works but i have another problem with this combination.

    Shutdown/Restart shortcut force windows to shutdown without letting other apps to save their data, that is a bit nuisance.

    for eg:

    Utorrent is force closed and when i start the pc, it re-calculate all the toorents in the list even those that are already downloaded and currently in seeding state. It happens when utorrent is not closed properly.

    So is there any way to NORMALLY shutdown/restart/loggoff/lock windows pc?
