Clearing The Page File On Shutdown In Windows XP!

Clearing The Page File On Shutdown In Windows XP!
The paging file is used as temporary storage, kind of like RAM only a lot slower. The problem is that information hangs around in the paging file a lot longer than it does in RAM. This can be a security issue if a plain-text password, or any other sensitive information, was stored in the paging file. You can’t clear the paging file while Windows is running but you can clear it on shutdown.
