Got this little how-to from JunkyPC. This will create a little icon on your desktop to let you clear your ram without restarting. It's great if you have a low ram system with long up times.
Now, whenever your computer starts running slowly, click this shortcut to clear our your memory and get your computer running at a normal pace.
1. In Windows, create a new shortcut. (Right click on an empty spot on the desktop and select New – Shortcut.)
2. Copy the following: %windir%\system32\rundll32.exe advapi32.dll,ProcessIdleTasks and paste in the box.
3. Click Next.
4. Give the shortcut a name. (i.e. Clear Memory)
5. Click Finish and you’re done!
Now, whenever your computer starts running slowly, click this shortcut to clear our your memory and get your computer running at a normal pace.
