Automatically Clear The Contents Of The Pagefile (Windows Server 2003)

When multiple users share computers, privacy becomes an issue because you don’t want the next person who sits at the computer to know what you were doing. You can make Windows secure and ensure your privacy in a network environment by opening the local security policy on your PC. In Windows Server 2003:

  1. Open the Start menu, select Control Panel, and double-click AdministrativeTools.
  2. Double-click the Local Security Policy applet.
  3. Expand Local Policies in the left panel and select Security Options.
  4. Scroll to the bottom of the list and double-click the option to Shutdown: Clear Virtual Memory Pagefile.
  5. Select the Enabled radio button and click OK.

What are your thoughts?

Hi,

I often would love to implement many of your settings/tweaks.

Most often they seem to point to “local security policy,” which does not appear to be on XP Home Edition. Whenever the same could be done in Home, it would be great to have that info too.

Thanks!
