Leave it alone, it's doing what it's supposed to. It's loading often-used
code into memory to attempt to speed up performance later. Let it be and you'll be happier in the long run. -- Richard G. Harper [MVP Shell/User] * NEW!

super prefetch causing slow system
personally I always turn it off.
editing the registry to do so. system is happier, faster and does not stutter like this. using 64 bit ultimate with 4 gb of memory. you might try simply deleting the contents of the prefetch folder. just the contents not the folder. it is a sub folder under windows. the system will begin rebuilding the contents on the first reboot.

With 8 gig of RAM Superfetch does little to nothing for you. Turn it off.

Oops. I was thinking ReadyBoost.
The more RAM you have the more frequently used programs will load at startup when using prefetch. I only prefetch my boot programs. I don't prefetch my frequently used programs. This make startup a bit quicker. -- Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience "Dutch 64" wrote in message ...

Registry hack!
Copy the below (between the asterisks) to a text file in notepad. Then save as xxxxxx.reg Run the file for the changes. ********************************* [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Se ssion Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters] "BootId"=dword:00000046 "BaseTime"=dword:0ca25fa5 "VideoInitTime"=dword:0000000f "EnableSuperfetch"=dword:00000001 "EnablePrefetcher"=dword:00000003 "EnableBootTrace"=dword:00000000 ********************************* The line "EnableSuperfetch"=dword:00000001 is the key The default is dword:00000003 which caches all dword:00000001 is boot files only -- Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience "DDW" wrote in message ...

But that doesn't look like a ".reg" file: it's missing "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00". I changed "EnableSuperfetch" manually.

You're right. I left that out. It should be as follows:
**************************************** Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Se ssion Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters] "BootId"=dword:00000046 "BaseTime"=dword:0ca25fa5 "VideoInitTime"=dword:0000000f "EnableSuperfetch"=dword:00000001 "EnablePrefetcher"=dword:00000003 "EnableBootTrace"=dword:00000000 **************************************** -- Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience "DDW" wrote in message ...
