That circuitous bit of English essentially says that Prefetch is a cache. Maybe you should diagram the sentence? >"Cleaning out the Prefetch folder will not improve performance. I have >proved this with a stopwatch repeatedly on multiple test systems, and >documented the results in Windows XP Inside Out Second Edition." I did it.
