I have some 800 plus files in the C:\Documents and Settings\Barry G\Local
Settings\Temp\ directory, sounds like I've got some rubbish about - I will
have to go to the Microsof Knowledge base and have a mooch...

Hi Barry,
If it is the folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\Barry G\Local Settings\Temp\
If it is the same as on my PC I have only 1 file in this folder which
cannot
be deleted because another application is using it.
So, leave it alone.
As to the prefetch folder, I deleted all 65 files last night and this
morning after I booted up, I found 10 files in this folder. So I will keep
a
regular watch on this folder and not let it get up to 65 again.
HTH.

Hi Barry,
The Prefetch folder is used by Windows XP to speed the boot process.
Windows
XP records information about each program that launches at boot and uses
that information to boot faster
the next time. Because multiple files might have the same name, it appends
a
"hash" of the file's location. That's the odd string of numbers and
letters
between the filename and the .pf extension.
This folder may accumulate useless junk, especially if you change your
configuration a lot. There's no harm in emptying it. Simply delete all the
files in that folder; Windows will rebuild it as needed.
HTH.

Subject: [access-uk] prefetch
Hi all
Can anyone tell me what the folder 'prefetch' is and if these instructions
are safe to do:
To speed up shut down, you may want to clear out c:\windows\prefetch\*.*
Just to make sure, by clear out, does it mean that I delete all the files
in
this folder?
Thanks
Barry H
