The author has misunderstood the function of this command. By default, Windows schedules a number of system maintenance tasks that are run during idle time every 3 days. These are the “idle tasks”. Running the command starts these tasks now, even if the system is not idle. This can impact application performance.

The command does not free memory, as will be quite obvious if you have Task Monitor open while running it. Windows manages memory very well on it’s own without such hacks.

In some unusual cases this command may appear to be beneficial. But that is not it’s purpose and will not be the normal case.

@Abdul Rehman:

sorry mate, but i don’t think it would work on Window Vista since i think they both have different files and structure.

It might be possible maybe but that would mean to find the required files manually, and if they exist theres a chance it might work but can’t guarantee that since i haven’t been able to test it on Windows Vista.

does this work for vista as well? i tried to add shortcut and it said “The file “%windir%system32rundll32.exe advapi32.dll,ProcessIdleTasks” cannot be found.”
