Has anyone ever hear of prefect?
I might not be spelling it correctly.
If you type it into the run section it is suppose to help the performance of
your computer.
If you know the correct spelling can you let me know?

What you are referring to is called Prefetch. There has been a myth
floating aroung for years that deleting the contents of the prefetch file
will free up disk space and improve system performance. This really is not
the case, since deleting the entries in the prefetch file will actually
Exactly what does prefetch do?

The Prefetch file is a list of index pointers that Windows uses to load
applications more rapidly. Instead of searching the entire C drive to find
the particular application to load after it has been launched, Windows first
searches the Prefetch file for its corresponding index pointer. A
Is this why applications like JAWS start faster once I've ran it the first
few times? If so how cool is that!

RSS feeds in Firefox are totally inaccessible with JAWS. Unlike IE, firefox
provides no audible alert when you encounter a web page with RSS feeds. You
cannot assign a Windows sound scheme to the feed discovered event in
Firefox; you can only do so for IE, for obvious reasons. And JAWS
This is why I had interest in thunderbird email client because it says it can
put RSS feeds into an email type version and it has another means of allowing
you to access RSS. It might be worth checking into. I just couldn't seem to
make it work with my hotmail account because of the fact I
Unfortunately, Thunderbird, like Firefox offers no audible alert to let you
know that you have landed on a web page that contains RSS feeds. Only IE
has this feature. So again, it is impossible for a blind user to detect
feeds in Firefox or Thunderbird without sighted assistance. And as

Hi Everybody;
My sister is currently running Windows 2000 Professional for her operating
system. Would she be better off switching to XP Pro? If she would be
better off switching to Xp Pro, should she try to get SP2 or SP3? She does
not use any screen reading programs or magnification
Hi Mike,
That debate is as broad as it is long.
It would really depend on her computing needs.
Eventually, each version of Windows drops out of the support
life-life-cycle,
meaning that security updates for the o/s will no longer be available.
If she plans on using her computer for a long time
If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
I'm using Win2K Pro and it does everything that I want to do.
If the same is true for your sister, why should she go through the trouble
of starting all over just to get a newer OS?
Moving to a newer OS on an old machine is pointless if the current OS
provides
Hi Richard Bob;
I posted the question because she has been talking about upgrading as far as
she can without going to Vista. She is an extremely heavy computer user

Not 100% sure, but if a track is playing in winamp, and you're in the
playlist window, hit Alt + number row 3, and it'll bring up the track
information dialogue where you can either edit it yourself, or tab to the
auto update button and it'll use the internet to find out the info for the

Not totally true concerning Firefox; go to bookmarks and then subscribe to
this page; if there was no feed JAWS would say unavailable like the page
is grayed, if it is there then JAWS would announce only the option and it
would be possible to go further of course. OK, it means more key presses
Firefox tells me that I can subscribe to the feeds. It's not like IE with a
sound. But on the top of the page it shows how I'd like to be subscribed
and a button to do this. And if I subscribe, I've got to go to the bookmark
menu to look for news which is very uncomfortable and unreliable.
