Windows XP keeps a list of frequently/recently used programs in the Prefetch folder. This is used at startup to load program components into memory so that when you start that program it loads fast.
But if you have only ever used a program once and will probably never use it again, why load its components at every startup?
Open Explorer/My Computer and navigate to C:\windows\prefetch.
Open the folder and see how many programs it contains!
Highlight them all and delete them all.
You should find that your Windows startup time improves. (But the opening time for each new program that you start will be increased until Windows has regenerated the contents of the prefetch folder).
In a few weeks time the prefetch folder will have filled up again - so delete its contents frequently.
If you are confident enough to edit the Registry then you can switch off Prefetch completely by opening Regedit and going to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Co ntrol\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters
and setting the DWORD value for EnablePrefetcher to 0 (zero).Labels: PC Tips N Tricks and Tweaks |
