look here:

Shutdown: Clear virtual memory Pagefile:

Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options

This setting determines whether the virtual memory Pagefile is cleared when the system is shut down. On a running system, the Pagefile is opened exclusively by the operating system, and it is well protected. However, systems that are configured to allow booting to other operating systems might have to make sure that the system Pagefile is wiped clean when this system shuts down. This ensures that sensitive information from process memory that might go into the Pagefile is not available to an unauthorized user who manages to directly access the Pagefile.

When this policy is enabled, it causes the system Pagefile to be cleared upon clean shutdown. If you enable this security option, the hibernation file (hiberfil.sys) is also zeroed out when hibernation is disabled on a portable computer system.

It makes shutdown slower.

 

Under control panel in Visya, look at System, advanced system settings, system properties, advanced, performance, advanced, change. – to change location.

Subject: Re: [PCBUILD] swap file

 

Hello David,

In an email on or about 27-02-2010 you wrote the following words of wisdom:

 > I would delete the swap file on exit and use the same drive.

 And how do I do that?
