Not really controversial, though prefetch does do what it says "The Prefetch directory serves a valuable purpose by analyzing files that you use at startup and when you run programs. Contrary to what some well-meaning but technically inaccurate articles suggest, this does not copy the files themselves. It creates an index to the location of those files on the hard disk, including the order in which they’re loaded. This allows Windows and Windows programs to start very quickly after the first time you use them." So if you delete them, prefetch will just make new ones, which in my case is a good idea since this PC is getting ready to be handed off to a relative of mine. Jerry.
<< >I have cleared out my prefetch, so that isn't it. It is truly strange. Hmmmm, isn't this somewhat controversial? TechRepublic says do it while one of the 'puter gurus says don't: http://www.edbott.com/weblog/archives/000024.html -- cheers, Stephen >> -- ---------------------------------------- To Change your email Address for this list, send the following message: CHANGE WIN-HOME your_old_address your_new_address to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note carefully that both old and new addresses are required.
