I believe this would be that thread. From 2016, your mileage may vary.

I don't ever trust Windows to set the page file size properly. Too many times I work on a server that is wonked out and I see it is set to "let Windows manage my page file size" and it the size is like 1200mb even when the "windows recommended size" is like 6144. Put it on a separate partition if you can, but manually set the low and high limits to be identical, if you have space to make it the same as your memory size then do that. If you tweak it try to measure your performance gains, otherwise go for stability.

Thanks for the note!

Has anyone used BlueCon enough to  have an opinion on it?

Outwit is a collection of several command line utilities including winclip.exe, which I use to sort the contents of my clipboard. Copy the items you want, then "winclip -p | sort | winclip -c" to pull the contents, sort it, and push it back on the clipboard. There are far more utilities that put things onto the clipboard than pull them off.

I've also used Dolphin Text Editor Menu to do this. It adds a number of features whenever you're editing text, even in Notepad. Select the text and hit the hotkey and you get a pop up menu of options from sorting to changing case to removing leading or trailing blanks, etc.

Eureka is a simple tool to encrypt files and folders:

Nice utility but stick to the original windows binary. If you navigate to the msi that says you can encrypt folders, it behaves less well and insists on showing a dialog asking about using the clipboard as the key even when kicked off from the command line. The question isn't clear and it hangs if you say no, or at least I'm not sure what it was waiting on.

Anyway stick to the exe, works great. :-)
