If you run a windows computer you’ll know like many others, after a while your system will in doubt start running slow.

Most people will restart their computer to remove and idle processes.
But if there’s a simpler way, why restart every time windows decides it doesn’t like you today? ;)

1. Right click on an empty spot on your desktop and select New - Shortcut.

2. Type %windir%\system32\rundll32.exe advapi32.dll,ProcessIdleTasks in the box.

3. Click Next.

4. Give your shortcut a nice name like “Clear Memory”.

5. Click Finish and you’re done.

Now whenever your computer starts running slow click this shortcut to clear out your memory and get your computer running at a normal pace again

Hope this helps ;)

It may be a good shortcut after playing a game withhorrible memory leakage. BF2 was bad and when you shut the game off the music would still play from it.
