I used to leave my computer running all of the time, but I left it sitting in
Dos.  But since my internet connection and Winboard are both in Windows95 I
spend all of my time here these days and seldom use WFW any more.  So with
Windows 95 I usually shut it off at the end of the day, but you don't need to.

If you don't turn it off, you might want to try restarting just Windows by
restarting into Dos, & then starting Windows again, this should clear your
memrory.
