    This, but it's the printer that remembers. With some models there's a way to manually reset the counter, but this suggests that HP didn't include it in most of their all-in-one products.

    "dir /a" in a command prompt still works, as would any GUI file management tool that does its own work instead of just containing an Explorer window.

    I don't think so. If your system actually *needs* to use the page file (instead of just writing inactive data out when things are quiet), your performance already sucks and putting it on a separate...

    Even configured like that, Windows Explorer will still hide a handful of things. I can't think of any directory that would appear to be empty as a result, but I'd still be tempted to leave things...

    The idea behind compacting the files is that it's relatively quick to write data to the end of an existing file, but it's a lot more expensive to take something out of the middle (because you have to...

    I don't think it clears either as a matter of course. Obviously if you're hibernating then it needs to write the memory contents into hiberfil.sys, but if you're shutting down then it doesn't.

    Bonjour is a discovery/sharing thing for local networks, so for example two copies of iTunes on a network could discover each other and play each other's music.

    My favourite analogy for this is M&Ms.

    Suppose you have a bag of M&Ms and you want to put them in a bowl for easier munching on the couch.

    Method 1: Tip the bag into the bowl. That's DMA.
