prefetch question

[Michael Solomon \(MS-MVP\)]

Yes it is but understand it will rebuild. Also note, this is a cache meant
to help speed access to files that you use at startup and when you run
programs. Files themselves are not copied there. Prefetch creates an index
to the location of those files on the hard drive including the order in
which they're loaded. This allows Windows and Windows programs to start
very quickly after the first time you use them.

You're welcome, Alan, good luck.

is it ok to empty the prefetch folder?

Fix your clock you rude, moronic, post-dating f*ckwit!

Prefetch has nothing to do with the speed of the second load of your
programs, it is because it is cached in memory.

hey mike!

thanks for the info. I noticed how much faster excel loads the second time,
vs the first, and always wonder how come.
