I've just thought of a great improvement to Microsoft's "Disk Cleanup"
applet. Why not include the "C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch" folder in the list of
possible cleanup locations?
Let me know what you think of this improvement by replying to this post,

Windows XP automatically cleans the prefetch files on
a regular basis. It is not wise to clean the entire prefetch
folder since it will slow your computer until the files
are rebuilt.

There is no need to clean that folder.

Really? Never thought of that one... Is there any place to go where I
can view or edit these settings?
