If you could I bet it would really bog shutdown. It might be better, since the memory is non-volatile, to figure a way to dump it on startup before paging kicks in. Don't know how off hand though. Why do you need to read the contents?

Well when you say "dump" to me that means save it to disk for diagnostics. Are you meaning "throw away" or "clear the contents" or what?

You could make a logon/logoff script under Group Policy, but this will run every logon/logoff rather than startup/shutdown. A user did once try to clear certain cache files on shutdown, but shutdown took an age.

Something faster may be a security program that encrypts the swap file. Not likely to be free though. I haven't used any myself to recommend but google brings up a few hits.

If you have some other reason besides security I wish you'd give some details. Your request is pretty vague.

what do you mean by dumping the page file? (deleting?)

welll, if you want to delete it, you can always run a .bat on a scheduler.
