The operating system determines how much memory the program requires, and allocates enough pages to hold it and its documents. When the program is closed, the allocated pages are freed up for use ...

Most operating systems, including Windows, have a concept of memory-mapped files. Memory-mapped files allow the creation of pages of memory that correspond to specific named files in the filesystem.

One method of memory management is known as paging. Memory is broken up into fixed-size blocks, known as pages. Different operating systems allocate their own size to pages.

Eventually, memory management in Windows eliminated this headache (see Windows 3.0). See PC operating environments, memory allocation, memory protection, EMS, EMM and DOS memory manager.
