Rich, I don't ever recall Freedom Scientific recommending deleting your Prefetch file. And, if they did, it is a superfluous step at best. Deleting the prefetch is a fiction that never seems to go away. See http://blog.tune-up.com/myth-buster/will-tweaking-windows-prefetch-folder-allow-for-

No problem. When you said Jaws, it sounded like you were saying Freedom Scientific. But it's not a big problem. The prefetch files are created whenever you open a program. So even if you delete a prefetch file the next time you execute a program it is recreated. Take care. -Original Me
