Plugin details

This is the HTML representation of the plugin Clear Prefetch Folder (Version 1.04) which can be found in the following path(s) in X-Setup Pro classic:
System\File System\Windows Prefetching

The plugin can be executed on the following Windows versions (Operation Systems):
Windows XP Windows 2003

Description :
This plug-in will totally erase any files in your Windows XP Prefetch folder. Windows XP creates a %systemroot%\prefetch folder to select files it loads at system startup. Sometimes this list becomes obsolete or littered with programs you do not wish to have prefetched. Clearing it will reset it and start it out fresh. Please note that the first boot after this process will be much slower than the last one, because XP generates the prefetch files again (however, without the useless entries you may had). The second boot-up after using the plug-in will be faster again.
