I'm using KeePass (on Windows 7) for storing passwords. The application is running on my laptop almost 100% of the time, but I'm using it rarely.

The problem is, that activating the window after long time takes huge amount of time, I'd say that OS realized the application is no longer used and swapped it.

I don't want OS to swap my KeePass (because of the loading lag, and also because of security - I don't like the idea of password keeping program's memory to be stored anywhere on HDD).

Is there any possibility how to tell OS not to swap some program? Or, is this achievable by some programming?

There are plenty of people who will tell you that it's a bad idea to disable swap/pagefile.

If you decide it is something you wish to do, however, you can:

  • Right-click Computer
    • Click Properties
  • Click Advanced System Settings
    • Click Advanced tab
  • Click Performance
    • Click Advanced tab
    • Click Virtual Memory - Change

Here, you can make changes to where and how much pagefile you are using. I'm pretty sure everybody will agree that moving your pagefile off of your SSD and putting it onto a HDD would be a good idea, but completely disabling it could cause problems.
