First of all, I'd like to say this is a very nice forum. Thank you to
the owner and staff. I sure hope we can be a helpful and productive
member. That being said.

Here's my problem. Something is erasing my prefetch files. I need to
know how to find out what is doing this. Is there any way to find the
source of this deletion? I've searched the internet, my computer and
can't seem to find the answer. :sick: Someone help me!!!!!!

Thanks in advance.

Check your startup folder dose`nt conatain any batch files that would run
on start and delete the prefetch contents.
Have you installed any Tuneup software that maybe set to delete prefetch on
startup.
Good luck.

What do you mean, "something is erasing my prefetch files"? How would you
know?

Do you mean they are literally being erased off the disk? Or from memory?

This is a genuine question; I've no idea how to see what files have been
prefetched.

The prefetch files are located in the following folder on your boot
disk....... C:Windows\prefetch
Sometime deleting these files will help to flush out files that are no
longer used and make the prefetch quicker.

Fascinating! Thanks. Is there somewhere I can learn more about these
files? How they are used, if/how they are related to Superfetch, etc?

Sorry to the OP, though, for not helping.
