So after I restart my PC it's down to about 2 sec. Still I see significant activity on disk, why?.

I use a third party test application.
I give the application the test input and get the results.
If I feed huge data the application it gives "memory allocation error"
When I observe the used memory from task manager I see that it gives the error when the private bytes reach ~2Gb.
I tried it both 32Bit Windows XP and 64Bit Windows 7. The result was the same.
what should I do to increase reserved heap memory form my third party application?
I want it to use more than 2Gb memory.
The third party application is most likely build for 32bit. So you are limited to 2Gb memory usage.
You can try to find if it has an 64bit installation package.

Which Windows 7 file(s) are critical for booting?
In other words, what is the shortest way to irreversibly dismantle a Windows 7 instance via a batch script, assuming we have root privileges?
I googled a bit, but I found ambiguous information.
*I'm asking this out of curiousity - not to do evil deeds.
The thing about booting files is that all of them can easily be restored. If you want to irreveribly degrade Windows about the only thing you can do is destroy the registry files. See this link for the location of the registry archives.

I'm wondering if it's possible to create an image of a Windows (7 for example) recovery partition, add it as a Virtual Box VM and start the installation from there just as you'd do in the real PC (in the other partition of the disk).
And a second question, is it legal?
Has someone already done this?
Products like Paragon Hard Disk Manager can make P2V (physical2virtual) migration, letting you create a VM of a partition.

Is there a way to set the maximum CPU usage for a process in Windows 7?
You could check out "CPU rate limits in Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7" - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff384148%28WS.10%29.aspx
But be aware of the warning in http://blogs.iis.net/thomad/archive/2010/02/15/put-the-brakes-on-your-application-pools-cpu-rate-limits-in-windows-7.aspx. It says:
Now here comes the drawback. The CPU Rate Limit feature has a bug. The kernel is holding on to a handle to the quota object and never lets go of it. This means once you set the CPU rate limit to a particular percentage you can't change this percentage without rebooting the machine. We are working on fixing it - not sure when we'll have a fix though. I have no idea if this bug is fixed.
Open Task Manager. Right click on the process you want more CPU usage and select the Priority level you want.

I'm on a WinXP Pro SP3 box. Some time ago, I noticed that opening the Add/Remove programs window takes a lot of time. The window itself opens, but it's building the list that takes so long. I fired FileMon from SysInternals, and it turned out that the process that's supposed to list the programs tries to open every file on my HD.
Anybody experienced this? Any cure?
Thanks

This is not a programming question, but the answer is sorta cool (and a good heads-up for those writing installers):
It's scanning because some programs don't provide enough information when they're installed.
