After installing a new pc tuneup program (went from iolo to tuneup utilites) I started recieving warnings that my prefetch folder was being emptied, is there a way to stop this from happening (registry key or file change maybe)?1 person needs an answerI do too

Just to clarify, the previous program started autommatically deleting the folder contents even after it was uninstalled.

some utilities will give you the choice to clear out the prefetch folder or not.however, for many computers the prefetch folder has years of old and unused data. further, the prefetch folder may have old data pertaining to infections, that is if your system was ever infected by malware.in any case, clearing it out the prefetch files is not detrimental to the system, because windows will eventually re create the prefetch data and their files as you use your computer.in doing so, your prefetch folder will be kept up to date and streamlined.db·´¯`·...¸> DatabaseBen, Retired Professional - Systems Analyst - Database Developer - Accountancy - Veteran of the Armed Forces - @Hotmail.com "share the nirvana mann" - dbZen ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > >
