Hi Paul,
I guess you meant the Windows System Cache:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/reskit/core/fnec_evl_acks.mspx?mfr=true
and for optimisation:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windows2000serv/reskit/core/fnec_evl_acks.mspx?mfr=true
but the cache is stored in pagefile.sys and you can't delete parts of it.
