Many a times the system gets hanged up or slows down, when it have been working on since some hours. Mostly people consider of restarting it in order to make it fast. There are thousands of softwares available in the market which guarantee to speed up your system. What they do is just keep on following the below method. So this simple trick is just like building your own RAM cleaner.

If you are using Windows (Windows 2000 or later) then this trick is quite useful to you. This small cool simple trick cleans your RAM in just milliseconds. You just need to create a shortcut to run a command. So let’s start:

Right click anywhere on your desktop.
Point over “New”, then select “Shortcut”.
Copy the below line (as it is):
%windir%\system32\rundll32.exe advapi32.dll,ProcessIdleTasks
Paste it there & click “Next”.
Give it a cool simple name like Clear Memory.
That’s it, run it every time your computer goes slow. Enjoy!

Now you don’t need to restart your computer every time. Just run this shortcut & your RAM will be cleared.

Note: This hack only works on Windows (Windows 2000 or later).

@Someone
This command basically clears the unused files in your RAM which are left by some programs even if you have closed them. Finally you get more space in your RAM and it performs more faster.

I don’t know where this post and these comments got their information, But that isn’t what this does… Normally, Windows has some tasks that run when the computer has been idle for 15 minutes(No user interaction, 0% cpu usage.) and does them.
Running this won’t clear your ram, All it will do is let those tasks run immidately, Rather then having to wait 15 minutes of idle time. For desktop users this isn’t as useful, But for laptop users it is, Because of power management and whatnot.
