Open an elevated Command Prompt, and to encrypt the page file, enter... fsutil behavior set encryptpagingfile 1 Rebooting is required for this to take effect; and to turn off the facility change the final 1 to a 0 figure and reboot again... There is a price to pay in performance terms though, because R/W paging operations take longer. Just don't ask me how secure the encryption is, but I expect Google will know...  |
