Prefetch Cleaning the Directory

Windows XP has a new feature called Prefetch.

This keeps a shortcut to recently used programs.

However it can fill up with old and obsolete programs.

I find it a bind and I am given to understand that in other versions Microsoft have modified it, so that it does not create hundreds of entries

I clean it quite regularly and below is an easier way than going windows etcetera, etcetera

To clean this periodically go to:

1. Start > Run type in the box Prefetch > OK

2. Press Ctrl‐A to highlight all the files

3. Delete them
