Disable Virtual Memory Button - Digerati - 2003-12-18


Use this Registry setting to hide the Virtual Memory button on the Performance tab under Control Panel > System. By hiding this button, you can prevent users from changing or disabling the machine's Virtual Memory setting, which can adversely effect the machine's performance. To set this option, open the Registry Editor and go to:

 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

 

Edit/create the value "NoVirtMemPage" (String Value) and set the value to "1" (without quotes) to hide the Virtual Memory button, or "0" to display the button. The setting will take effect immediately and does not require a reboot.
