what's the default mystring value?
i changed it to 80000000 knowing that it will make the pc faster then i
heard that, after a while, it will make it shutdown for good!!!
can someone help me make it return to default?? (before it's too late!!)
i changed it by typing in notepad : Mystring=80000000 and saved it as ram.vbe
and thanks.

Another one of these dumb memory "tweaks" from Windows 9x users who
think that the Windows NT memory manager needs a helping hand. All that
this thing does is grab memory then releases it when the script closes,
at best it grabs free memory pages and at worse it sends pages from
running working sets to the pagefile.

Why are you wanting to use this? Can you give use the *exact* script
that you are wanting to use or can you post a link to where you got the
information? Once we know the details we will be able to give you more
comments. As it is now, without knowing all the details, this is more
of a guessing game than anything else.

i opened notepad and typed:
MyString = (80000000)
and i saved it as ram.vbe and i ran the script.
i heard that this will work for a while then it will make the pc shutdown
for good?
i want to see if it's true and if it is, what can i do to undo it?

If you want to shutdown your PC with a script then you should use the native
command shutdown.exe.

That script will not make the PC shutdown, as it is written I don't
think that it will do anything at all, there isn't supposed to be any
spaces before or after the = sign.

All that this VB script does is *ask* the Windows memory manager for
memory then it releases the memory when it exits. There is nothing to
undo after you run it, it changes nothing in the Windows settings, all
it does is give the illusion of more available memory. There is nothing
to undo, you can just pitch the script to the Recycle Bin and forget
about it, the script doesn't make any permanent changes to the system.
