SUPERAntiSpy Posted August 12, 2007 I found several posts in this forum about the prefetch folder and I know this option in CCleaner.Deleting it makes the XP-PC faster is a popular fallacy. A myth is that the user should delete the prefetch folder contents to speed up the computer. If this is done, Windows will need to re-create all the prefetch files again, thereby slowing down Windows during boot and program starts until the prefetch files are created. Get it all here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prefetcher We only remove prefetch folder items that are tied to the spyware itself - we leave the rest alone.
