searchlight 0 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 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. Link to post Share on other sites

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. Link to post Share on other sites
Tarun 0 Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 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. Link to post Share on other sites
