"One option preferred by us at Tom's Hardware is HCI Design's MemTest.
The good thing about this is you don't have to any pre-booting
and there are no directions. You just run it."

o Downloading MemTest (free)

o Create a link & SendTo populate your Taskbar accordion cascade menu tree:
c:\menu\hardware\ram\memtest.lnk
TARGET: C:\app\hardware\ram\hcimemtest\memtest.exe
STARTIN: C:\app\hardware\ram\hcimemtest

o Run the program as many times as needed to simultaneously test RAM:
Taskbar menu hardware ram memtest.lnk
Enter megabytes of RAM to test === All unused RAM
[Start Testing]

Could not allocate 4095 MB
Windows limits the amount of contiguous RAM MemTest can allocate
to between 2 and 3.5GB. To test all your RAM, run more than one copy
of MemTest simultaneously and set each copy to test a portion of
available RAM. Running more than one copy of MemTest does not
lower the quality of the test (and can even improve it if you have
multiple cores or CPUs).

Enter megabytes of RAM to test === 2
[Start Testing]
(instance 1)

o Run Taskbar menu hardware ram memtest.lnk
Enter megabytes of RAM to test === 2
[Start Testing]
(instance 2)

Note that every installation goes 'where it belongs' (which you define):

It's a shame most people don't realize how easy it is to maintain menus.
(Microsoft should have hired me decades ago to solve their menu issues.)
