prefetch question
Yes it is but understand it will rebuild. Also note, this is a cache meant
to help speed access to files that you use at startup and when you run programs. Files themselves are not copied there. Prefetch creates an index to the location of those files on the hard drive 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. -- Michael Solomon MS-MVP Windows Shell/User Backup is a PC User's Best Friend DTS-L.Org: http://www.dts-l.org/ "!Allen Lasting" wrote in message ... is it ok to empty the prefetch folder? |

prefetch question
Prefetch has nothing to do with the speed of the second load of your
programs, it is because it is cached in memory. "!Allen Lasting" wrote in message ... hey mike! thanks for the info. I noticed how much faster excel loads the second time, vs the first, and always wonder how come. Al |
