    I am having trouble clearing up space on this laptop!


    I have moved personal files to an external hard drive and do not know what else to do. Here are the screenshots of the information that I have. I have also completed a disk clean up and cleaned up system files. Is there anything else I can move or get rid of? Thank you in advance for your help! I cannot run updates or install anything and I have very limited saved to the desktop. Everything else is on my external HD

  3. Having trouble with port forwarding..

    I am currently a bit occupied and can't focus 100%.

    Give me some time to write a full check list for you. That manual helps a lot in doing all this.

    I will return once I've written everything in a clear and step by step tutorial. I also have D2, so I will test it on my system, which also takes time.

    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?
