Clear Windows XP RAM without a System Restart.
This is a nice and simple trick to clear your RAM in a Windows XP system that will release the idle processes which cause your system to run slowly, and doesn’t require a typical system reboot.
Steps to follow:
1. Locate an empty spot on your desktop, right click on your mouse and select - new shortcut.
2. Type “windir\system32\rundll32.exe advapi32.dll,ProcessIdleTasks” without the brackets in the box and click next.
3. Name your shortcut and click finish…. All done!…
Now, when your system slows down just click the shortcut, and you are back to your normal operating speed.
Squeaky…….

It always seems when you are in the middle of something that XP needs a reboot and that really sucks. This for sure will save a person time and the whole reboot process… Glad you liked it….
