Windows XP Pre-fetch Cleaning Option

[searchlight]

I recently came accross an article on another Website where it is strongly advised to uncheck this option in Crap Cleaner because it will slow Windows XP down.

 

I have always left this option checked, and have used Crap Cleaner for quite some time

without any noticeable effect.

 

Is this something newly discovered, and will it be addressed in a future version.

 

A little guidance would be appreciated here

 

Thanks.

Well another member posted a similar question a couple of days ago but for some reason, his question was entirely deleted from the forum.

 

Let's hope this one is not and you get a concrete answer as it is a much discussed topic. I would personally like to see a "yes" or "no" answer instead of some long technical discussion about the subject.

This has been discussed numerous times here on the forums; it is safe to remove because it is OLD prefetch data. Meaning obsolete, no longer used, etc.

I think searchlight you have answered your own question when you stated that you have always left this option checked with no noticable effect.
