How to free up RAM to make Windows run faster

Here is a method you might like to use to free up RAM

to make Windows run faster.

When programs run in Windows XP, they frequently use

what are called DLLs (Dynamic-Link Libraries).

These contain shared programming instructions and other

files like icons, graphics, sounds, etc. that different

applications use in order to run. DLLs are stored in RAM

whenever the applications load them; when you quit a program,

XP is supposed to release the DLL from memory. But some

DLLs can get stuck.

Here is the method to mend this up.

Step 1: You can force Windows XP to release DLLs by adding a Registry key.

Step 2: Select Start > Run >Enter regedit >Hit Ok

Step 3: This will open the Registry Editor and navigate to

My Computer -> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Microsoft -> Windows ->

CurrentVersion -> Explorer.

Step 4: Right click on EXPLORER in the Left Pane, Select New > Key.

Step 5: Name it as AlwaysUnloadDLL and set the default value to 1.

Step 6: Restart Windows to activate the change.
