Prefetch

[Shel]

I emptied the Prefetch folder four days ago, and it has not yet
repopulated.

Any ideas?

You need to reboot your PC at least three times.
Also, make sure the Task Scheduler service is set
to automatic.

Go to Start > Run and type: MSCONFIG , and hit enter.
Under the General tab, check "Normal Startup - load all device drivers and services",
click "apply" and reboot.

Carey:

Your suggestion to "Also, make sure the task Scheduler service is set
to automatic" did the trick! I had changed it to disabled based on a
suggestion in the January '06 issue of Smart Computing magazine. (It's
a good thing I keep good notes.)

Your help is much appreciated.
