| | Interesting option! I tried enabling it via the registry file but it told me that "the key did not exist"? So I just configured it via the GP Editor. |

Was it a "file association does not exist..." type error instead? When you right click on the REG file, did you have a Merge option in the context menu? Were you logged in an adminsitrator account when using the REG file? |

| | Hello guys, I am wondering if I should encrypt the virtual page file... or just have it deleted on shutdown. What do you recommend? Or should I even bother with it? I just have a simple laptop.. |

| | Hello Windows 911, Usually you would only encrpyt or delete the page file on exit if you are concerned about the possibily of someone reading it's contents. Encrypting the page file will get a small negative performance hit in Windows since it will take a bit longer to encrypt and decrypt everything in and out of the page file. Deleting the page file on exit will cause a delay at shutdown while you wait on the page file to be deleted. I would not recommend to turn off the page file. Some programs, usually older ones though, will require the page file to be turned on for them to run properly no matter how much RAM you have installed. Hope this helps some, Shawn |

| | Thank you for the quick reply Im thinking about encrypting at least, especially that I carry my computer around frequently. Is the performance impact negligible, or obvious? I don't care if it adds a couple seconds to startup or shutdown. Do you use it on your system Brink? |
