As mentioned above, the page file is an area of your hard disk that Windows
uses as extra memory space to store files and data that are currently being
used. Of course, since Hard drives are magnetic storage devices, and not
dynamic like Ram, the data stored in the page file stays there until it is cleared
or over-written.
This data may possibly contain unencrypted passwords or other sensitive
information since many third party programs do not bother to encrypt data
that is being passed to the memory, even though it may end up on the page
file. A simple registry change can force Windows XP to clear the page file each
time it shuts down. Note that enabling this will increase the time it takes your
system to shutdown.
Open REGEDIT
Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager\Memory Management
Modify the ClearPageFileAtShutdown value to '1'
For customization
Clear the Page File (virtual memory) when shutting down XP
