First paragraph of Part 3

"It's possible to have Windows delete your paging file whenever you
shut down Windows." This is not true. The option to "clear" the virtual memory pagefile upon
shutdown that's described on the following page will overwrite the file with zeros,
not delete it. This fact makes the first two of the "three reasons you might
want to do this" irrelevant, since they don't apply to a file that has been zeroed
out rather than deleted.
