Clearing The Page File On Shutdown In Windows XP!
The paging file is used as temporary storage, kind of like RAM only a lot slower. The problem is that information hangs around in the paging file a lot longer than it does in RAM. This can be a security issue if a plain-text password, or any other sensitive information, was stored in the paging file. You can’t clear the paging file while Windows is running but you can clear it on shutdown.
