Software Prefecth! make Windows software load faster!

Adding the /prefetch:1 switch to the executable startup path of a frequently used program will decrease the applications start up time. Example: I use Windows Messenger quite alot. In the Target: field of the Messenger properties add /prefetch:1 to the end of the path as shown below. "I:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe" /prefetch:1 The result is a faster loading program as the switch automatically tells Windows to look to the Prefetch directory. You can also speed up explorer by opening the registry and drilling down to: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\explore\command and adding the /prefetch:1 switch to the end of the Default value path %SystemRoot%\Explorer.exe /e,/idlist,%I,%L /prefetch:1 The same can be done for HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\open\command %SystemRoot%\Explorer.exe /idlist,%I,%L /prefetch:1
