Can you force a program to stay in RAM?
Hi everyone,

I've been looking everywhere to try and find someone who has asked this question, but I haven't found an answer anywhere. Can you force a program to stay in RAM and not get put into the pagefile? I know about the registry hack to keep the OS in RAM, and I was wondering if there was any way to do it with specific programs. I use DExposE a lot and it's great for productivity, but if I stop using it for a while and then try to use it again, it lags or freezes for a few seconds before it executes.

Thanks for your help!

One way to do it is have enough physical memory installed that the OS never uses the pagefile. 2-3 gb should do it.

Vista as advanced memory management, I don't think it would be wise to hack the registry.
