There is a PreFetch command that can be run from the Run dialog box off the Start Menu. It only cleans out the PreFetch and doesn't touch anything else. I can't remember exactly what it is, and that is what I went to Tech Republic to find and came up with the statement I posted earlier.

Well, there's really no serious disagreement. What the guy from MS says is that even if you do clean it out, if Windows needs any of the stuff you just deleted, it'll simply re-create it and that will require another couple of microseconds of computer time. Frankly, it looks like a wash to me. Right now, my Prefetch folder contains 61 files and uses less than 4 meg on a 160 gig drive, so I'm not sweating it. And unless there's some control over it, I don't like that CCleaner tool at all. It removes things that I wouldn't want removed, since I use automatic completion in the Run dialog and that program deletes the history file that allows use of autocomplete. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sarah" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, October 08, 2006 1:13 AM Subject: Re: [jaws-users] Clearing the Prefetch?
