No Files in Prefetch

M

misc.crap

Something happened along the way and I noticed there are no files in
the c:\windows\prefetch.

The proper entries are in the registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters]
"VideoInitTime"=dword:00000a41
"EnablePrefetcher"=dword:00000003
"AppLaunchMaxNumPages"=dword:00000fa0
"AppLaunchMaxNumSections"=dword:000000aa
"AppLaunchTimerPeriod"=hex:80,69,67,ff,ff,ff,ff,ff
"BootMaxNumPages"=dword:0001f400
"BootMaxNumSections"=dword:00000ff0
"BootTimerPeriod"=hex:00,f2,d8,f8,ff,ff,ff,ff
"MaxNumActiveTraces"=dword:00000008
"MaxNumSavedTraces"=dword:00000008
"RootDirPath"="Prefetch"
"HostingAppList"="DLLHOST.EXE,MMC.EXE,RUNDLL32.EXE"

Task Scheduler is running.

Anything else I should be looking for?

This may jump start it:

Open the Run box and enter:
rundll32.exe advapi32.dll,ProcessIdleTasks

Restart.

Had already tried that as well - nyet.

This started within the last 2 weeks (as I look at my weekly images)
and I've been trying to remember what I might have installed, but I do
not believe I installed anything, nor changed anything.

The Task Scheduler service is required for Prefetching to work, check that its
on and set to automatic.

To open Services, open the Run box and enter:
%WinDir%\system32\mmc.exe %WinDir%\SYSTEM32\services.msc
