The_Decryptor Veteran Posted March 25, 2007 Veteran Share Posted March 25, 2007 Yeah, should be disabled by default (can enable it for a security feature, so somebody can't take the HD out of your system and read the pagefile for passwords or such) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevets Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Yeah, should be disabled by default (can enable it for a security feature, so somebody can't take the HD out of your system and read the pagefile for passwords or such) I have on bc I have sensitive info on my laptop, it would be nice to have a "clear pagefile" button in the HD clean up wizard tool.
