Having noticed that Prefetch was full of programs I hadn't used in a
long time, and some I'd even removed from my system, I did some
research. The research indicated that it would help the speed of the
system if you deleted all the files in prefetch.
But - it also indicated that Windows would re-populate prefetch with the
programs you really do open on a regular basis.
The prefetch folder is not being written to and it is still completely
empty even though I've been using many programs over several days.
What is wrong and what can I do to get it operating again?
TIA
