  1. --FIRST-- many thanks for the INTELIGENT responses for a screwy little bug..i kinda figured it wasn't anything THAT serious..the prefetch files are starting to accumulate to the point of almost 1 mb !..and ,under normal curcimstances,with the size of the hardrive in most systems-a "wasted" amount of space wouldn't be worth worring about..BUT--with my franken-computer,glued together by a nephew(his old tower-and he took the 40 gig drive,and put in a 10 or so-i forget)-but i start getting "running low on disk space" popups,..c-cleaner keeps my system running JUST FINE ..i was looking for just that extra bit of hardrive space,..when c-cleaner showed me the prefetch files,i thought it wise to ask..-- my system is xp sp2(tried to load 3-not enough disk space!!)..i gig processor,and not enough hardrive space..this is paticurally frustrating,as when he glued it together,he threw in a scuzzy drive,and three other hard drives..the first time i took it back to him,he unplugged the scuzzies,and disabled them(something i'm NOT prepared to do)..he said they were slowing down the system..i'd rather have the space over the few nano-secounds that bugged HIM-not me...can't get him to stop by and play with it-despite it being over two years now.. --his work had him twenty minutes away..he had time to stop and see an old boyfriend-but not me..-but-he did give me the system..am i still allowed to be ...miffed?? ..anyway,the autocomplete thing works fine as long as i just leave it unchecked.. many thanks to ALL who responded windtalker
  2. FINALLY!!..i've finally got my system to let me post my question on your forum.. i'm running xp on a tower with 1 gig proscessor.. --JUST downloaded the latest c-cleaner,seems to be doing the same thing..i run CCleaner,(3x overwrite) when first analysed,it finds a bunch of files,but-when i analyse again,it still shows a couple mb's of files from diffrent programs i've run,all with a common "prefetch" word in them.. --is there anything i can do to clean out these files,as they are starting to accumulate,to the tune of nearly 2 mb's..not an unberable number,considering how mutch carp this terriffic program has cleaned out of my system,making it run SOOOO mutch faster and better.. ALSO, i WAS having trouble when the "autocomplete" box was checked,immediately after hitting the "clean" button,my system would do a HARD BOOT ,going all the way to the boot screen,just like i'd hit the off button(but i hadn't)..since un-checking the autocomplete button,everything seems to be both hunkey AND dorey,,,-cept for the "prefetch" thing.. --any thoughts??
