Hi,

Here's a quick tip that'll help secure your privacy in windows.

If your using windows, you may or may not be familiar with pagefile.sys, basically it is virtual memory which gets writen onto when windows has used all your availible RAM. The problem with this is potentially private info could be stored there.

But there's a way around this, do the following:

Click start --> type regedit --> hit ok.

Navigate to the Memory Management key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management

Change the value of ClearPageFileAtShutdown to 1, then close regedit. (If the value ClearPageFileAtShutdown is blank or does not exist, create it and add a DWORD value of 1).

Done :-)
