How to put Windows kernel in RAM

A kernel is the core of any operating system,its something similar to a brain that can make decisions for the OS.

Wouldn’t it be great if kernel performance can be optimised like making it make really fast decisions and make the applications launch faster and all other XP nirvana?

There is a registry hack that accomplishes this.When anything is stored in system RAM rather than stored in a paging area or a virtual memory,it will definitely be accessed much much faster.

By default in XP,the kernel is put up in paging area rather than the RAM thereby making it work by first accessing the paging area which is slower than the actual memory.

The following registry hack changes it :
1.Open registry editor (type – regedit in run box).
2.Edit the registry key : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession ManagerMemory ManagementDisablePagingExecutive to a value of 1.
3.Save the changes and reboot the XP box once.

What this will do is simply turn off the kernel paging and instead force it to be in RAM thereby speeding access.(If you need to undo this change,turn the value back to 0 from 1 which will enable kernel paging).

Peace.
