        When using a computer, some Word documents or open web pages will be loaded into the memory, and in order to save memory space, Windows will put different files into the system's page file, the page file is like a temporary warehouse. Microsoft provides a way to automatically clean up page files when you shut down Windows XP. By default this feature is turned off. Below we will show you how to enable this feature. However, it should be noted that after this feature is enabled, the shutdown time will be longer because the cleaning operation is performed. Procedure 1. Click the Start menu, click Run, enter Regedit in the dialog box, and then click OK to run the Registry Editor. If you are not familiar with the registry knowledge, you can look at it here. 2. Browse to "HKEY_LOCAL_MacHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Session Manager\\Memory Management" and double-click "ClearPageFileAtShutdown" in the list on the right. 3. In the pop-up "Edit DWord" value dialog box, select the base number to be hexadecimal, and change the "Value Data" on the left to 1, which enables the automatic cleaning of the page file function when shutting down. 4. Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
