    I don't know which operating system the above recipe is directed.

    In XP--

    First navigate to:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession ManagerMemory ManagementClearPageFileAtShutdown

    Change this value to 1 to enable.
    Change this value to 0 to disable (default).

    Beware that doing this can greatly increase the time required to shutdown your XP system. Well - OK maybe 90 seconds or so depending on the machine. To me this is an eternity when needing to dash out the door w/my laptop (2ghz).

    Test before setting policy for a large organization.

    Thanks for the warning! It certainly will slow down shutdown times as it wipes this file.
