greyowl2 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Please consider adding a feature to clear the pagefile. This would require a restart to complete, I think. This is offered by some of the other cleaner apps from other companies. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDPower Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 You can have Windows clear the pagefile at shutdown with a simple reg tweak (in my experience it does noticeably slow down shutdown): http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314834 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotrod Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I'll second that, i use eraser to clear my pagefile on shutdown. I have tested this and it adds about 30-45 seconds to shutdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoKenny Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 How do you use Eraser to clear the pagefile on shutdown. Please walk me through the steps.Thanks Its a waste of time as the pagefile is rebuilt by Windows at bootup. If you choose to clear the pagefile at Shutdown then that takes 10-30 seconds longer depending on hard drive speed then bootup takes 10-30 seconds longer for Windows to allocate the space then populate its contents.

hotrod Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 To set in eraser, open then follow edit/pref/general then just tick the box. YoKenny your right that it recreates its self but if you clear the file it re creates its self without your personal details. Your also right about the time it takes, 30-45 seconds is a tad bit to much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
