Pancakes Tips

The Prefetch folder in Widows XP can accumulate too much information over time. This makes the operating system so busy loading bits and pieces of lots of applications into memory that it ends up slowing down the boot process. Fortunately, you can clean out the Prefetch folder at any time. Follow these four steps:
  1. Access the Run dialog box by pressing [Windows Key] and R.
  2. Type Prefetch in the Open text box and click OK.
  3. Press [Ctrl]A to select all the files.
  4. Press [Delete].
As you use your system, Windows XP will rebuild the contents of the Prefetch folder.
