How do you know it isn't working?
Make sure the Task Scheduler service is set to Automatic and running...
Start | Run | Type: services.msc | Click OK
Scroll down to and double click Task Scheduler | Startup type: Automatic |
Apply | Click the Start button | OK | Close Services
-----
Check this registry setting...
Start | Run | Type: regedit | Click OK
Navigate to >>
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory
Management\PrefetchParameters
Look for EnablePrefetcher in the right pane, if the value is not 3,
Double click EnablePrefetcher and change the value to 3.
Values are:
0 = disabled
1 = Application launch prefetching
2 = Bootprefetching
3 = Both prefetching
3 seems to be the preferred option.
Exit regedit
This will take effect on next reboot.
It will take three boots to rebuild the Prefetch file.

Hope this helps. Let us know.
