This is surely impossible. It's under the control of the OS, not the program, and any OS which didn't free memory when programs quit would crash very quickly indeed. Maybe whatever tool you are using isn't reporting the free memory accurately (or at least, not reporting a useful statistic). -- Stephen Turner, Cambridge, UK http://homepage.ntlworld.com/adelie/stephen/ "Low Priced Cambridge Clare College.
