Protecting Data When Shutdownt

Every application always writes data in the Temporary Files, even for sensitive information like passwords. After the shutdown, the data is stored and easy to read with the help of software. To close this security gap, follow the following steps.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE> SYSTEM> CurrentControlSet> Control>
 SessionManager> Memory Management
Double click on ClearPageAtShutdown change the value to 1.
Where none exists, create the entry. Click Edit> New> DwordValue.
