How do you turn off pc health??

[wd]

I have read a lot of inquiries about disabling the files that are put
into "windows\pchealth\helpctr\datacoll". I am using win xp, most
answers I have seen have to do with win ME.
I do not see any reference to pchealth in MSCONFIG.
Also I have no scheduled tasks in task mgr. Can someone tell me what
to disable to prevent the collection of data in this directory?

TIA

1. Run "regedit";
2. Go to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory
Management\PrefetchParameters\EnablePrefetcher];
3. Set the value to either 0-Disable, 1-App launch prefetch, 2-Boot Prefetch, 3-Both ("3" is recommended).
4. Reboot.
