By turning off prefetch as you stated, will that keep the files from
collecting in windows\pchealth\helpctr\datacoll ??

Was wondering if I can leave prefetch on and just turn off the files
that collect in datacoll?

TIA

The Prefetch folder contains information regarding the optimal disk layout
of program files so they launch quicker. You may delete all those files,
but XP will rebuild that folder so that your computer runs as efficiently
as possible. After deleting the prefetch files, your computer's performance
will suffer slightly until the prefetch folder is rebuilt. It takes approximately
three computer reboots to properly rebuild the prefetch folder contents.
