XP Registry - Speed up shutdown time 2007-06-16 00:53:00 Do you any problem on Windows shutdown time? Ok, here are a couple of steps you can take to speed up your Windows XP shutdown process.Step 1Paging file (pagefile.sys) - Don't have XP clear at shutdown.The paging file is used to store temporary files and data, but when your system shuts down, information stays in the file. Some people prefer to have the paging file cleared at shutdown, because sensitive information such as unencrypted passwords sometimes ends up in the file. However, clearing the paging file can slow shutdown times significantly, so if extreme security isn't a high priority, you might not want to clear it. To shut down XP without clearing your paging file, run the Registry
Editor and go to:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession ManagerMemory ManagementChange the value of ClearPageFileAtShutdown to 0. Close the Registry and restart your computer. Whenever you turn off XP from now on, the paging file won't be cleared, and you should be able to sh Read more:Speed
