Basically you're talking about how to be secure with ancient parts. I guess that works for you, and perhaps that's why you're so against Windows also. You're still in that mindset created from long ago and just haven't moved forward with the times. That's great and all, but not really applicable anymore. Now people do have storage devices, SATA drives, and floppies are a thing of the past. I'm fairly certain that this guy was looking for a solution that fit current times, but only he could say for sure.

As for turning off the page file in Windows XP, you very clearly said that it couldn't be done. I showed you the method for doing so in a screen shot. That is the relevance. Also, if you shut off page file, Windows will not still use it 'behind your back' anymore than it will go over the maximum page file size if you have a maximum set. Regardless, if you boot with a Windows Operating System on one drive, you can wipe a Windows Operating System on another drive and nothing will prevent you from wiping the files.

Even if you didn't learn anything, I'm sure others did.
