Ah yes, and so you do what you have always done, when you post gibberish and
drivel that you can't support - make wild, unsupported claims, insult and
run. If there was any substance to what you post, it would stand for
itself.
Because someone challenges you that means they have a problem? You've seen
the other posts in this thread, and in other threads, where you are called
on your garbage by many different people? Doesn't that send any kind of
message to you?
Go ahead, run away, that's your style. (By the way your conversations with
whomever at MS hasn't gotten your desired effect, have they?)

Lol, this is gibberish. As normal you can't even answer two simple

I don't find any validity with the
"windows will manage it"
and
"only believe what i say because
everyone else are providing myths"
responses.
Microsoft.com has not issued a
"mandate" not to delete the
prefetch files.
Further if they were deleted, then
Windows was designed to rebuild
them and "rebuild only the ones that
are needed".
So if the prefetch files are cleaned
out / deleted monthly there is are
no consequence to the affect.
Conversely it is due to the deletion
of prefetch files on a regular basis
that additional trash files are removed
from the disk
and
newly rebuilt prefetch files ensures
none are corrupted, infected and
are "up to date" with the file system.
This is no myth!

unfortunately, i disagree.
either you delete them or
you keep them.
basically, the criterian for
deleting them is if they
corrupted, orphaned or unused.
if the orphaned and unused
files are retained, then they
can be classified as clutter and
or trash files.
if the corrupted files are retained
then the performance will degrade.
one might ask "which files are corrupted
as there is no indication as such?"
the answer is to "simply delete
all of them and windows will rebuild
"only" the ones for the programs
you actually "run" ...
Ken A said:
I was told that it is a good idea to delete the Prefetch Folder at least
once a month. This is suppose to make the computer perform better. Any
comments of this would be greatly appreciated.
This is an urban myth that has no value under normal circumstances.
Deleting the contents of the prefetch folder will not improve
computer
performance. In fact it will reduce it, until the prefetch folder
is
rebuilt over several days as programs are run.
There might be a situation where there is a problem and deleting the
prefetch folder contents might be done for troubleshooting reasons,
but
otherwise don't do so under normal circumstances.

Disagree with what? I said if there are no issues or problem, then
don't
bother with deleting the contents of prefetch folder. That won't
improve
performance. This is been demonstrated objectively by several
sources.
If
you suspect a problem and corruption then fine, but not for routine
maintenance. So what is it you are advocating? Routinely deleting
the
contents of prefetch?
By the way I found it humorous when you asked Carey for clarification.
Your
standard response in the past when asked for clarification on some of
the
drivel you've posted has been to tell the person to research it for
themselves, it isn't your job to do their work for them. Or you just
don't
respond. Maybe you should get your own "house in order" so to speak?
While we are at it, I will ask again, why is it that the line lengths
in
your posts are at most half of the normal line length? You've been
asked
same question by many folks but you have never replied. Why is that?

You haven't answered my questions.
1. So you are advocating regular deletion of the files in the prefetch
folder even though it has been objectively shown that doing so decreases
performance, and provides no discernible benefit?
2. Why do you post with reduced line lengths?
