microsoft is known for the " for your convenience.....we will do this ... and not tell you "
things like Internet explorer and MS office can AUTO load into ram on boot ( for your convenience to start the program faster ? maybe )
or the top 10 programs you use could auto be started and put into ram on boot ( or more likely from Hibernate - the NEW shut down
80% of your ram might be auto pre allocated
depending on the version of windows there are some very handy hacks
like the ADMIN tools folder in Win7 ( it is HIDDEN from you )
on 7 make a new folder with this name
ALL the gui tools and system settings all in ONE!!!! placeCode:.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
EDIT , correction!!! renamed the hack to the correct name
the dot and everything
and will work in Win10
