XP uses prefetch to load Ur most run servises,porg..s to during Ur start up whether u want it or not ..u can disable it by this method...

  1. start menu
  2. run
  3. type regedit(starting registry editor)
  4. go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters\EnablePrefetcher
  5. Values you can choose from include:
    0: Disable
    1: Application Launch Prefetch-applications eg word ,exel to be prefetched at boot time
    2: Boot Prefetch-booting files to be prefetched 3: Prefetch everything

  7. If want to clear some space go to \WINDOWS\Prefetch(in windows dir) and del all the items prefetched early..(u might want to change folder settings to show hidden files and system files.)
