XP clear your paging file (pagefile.sys) of its contents whenever you shut down for security reasons. Your paging file is used to store temporary files and data, sensitive information, such as unencrypted passwords etc.
So if extreme security isn't required, then shut down XP without clearing your paging file by :-
1. Run the Registry Editor ( type regedit in Run and enter)
2. Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management
3. Change the value of ClearPageFileAtShutdown to 0.
4.Close the Registry and restart your computer.
Now on while turning off XP , the paging file won't be cleared, and shut down will be more quickly.
