Hello there

I am learning about the registry, but i  know how to back it up if anything doe;s go wrong, i am reading the book by gerry honeycutt called the windows registy guide

But i have just seen this on some web site, and was just after some advice about it, if i do try it ,  and is it save to do so

This is what it says

Move the Kernel to run in RAM.

Software or services running in RAM are always going to be faster that anything that has to pull data from the hard drive or virtual memory. The kernel is the core of the XP operating system, so by having it run in RAM we can speed up our computer.

NOTE: Only use this on machines with more than 256MB of installed RAM!!

Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\COntrol\Session Manager\Memory Management once in Memory Management choose DisablePagingExecutive . Change the value of DisablePagingExecutive to 1. This will set the kernel to run in RAM. Changing it to 0 will set everything back to normal. Exit the registry and reboot the computer for the changes to take effect.

I am running windows xp pro
