10 HIDDEN SECRETS OF PC OPTIMIZATION – XP & VISTA 4

DEFRAG / DELETE PRE-FETCH FILES

Use this method only if you don’t use TuneXP.

Once of the greatest invention in Windows XP is pre-fetch file system! What is a pre-fetch file?
Pre-fetch system is design to speed up Windows XP start up loading by pre-fetch start up services in memory format and save it as files in C:\Windows\Prefetch folder. In theory it will load faster to the memory without convert from file format to memory storage format.

But the fact is when pre-fetch file grow too big (I suspect it didn’t clean itself when you remove start up program), it will slow down Windows loading process.

You may delete all pre-fetch file and let Windows XP rebuild it on the next boot up, then defrag it with the command “defrag c: -b”, c: is the O.S. drive and –b is the parameter to defrag pre-fetch files. (Start -> Run -> Type “CMD” -> type “defrag c: -b”)

Restart you computer and see if this help...
