Well, thanks very much, MG. It was a new one to me as well. Before i start deleting wholesale, i just want to make sure what this is. The files that are shown in prefetch are they just shortcuts and complete files reside elsewhere? In other words,for that particular program that you only use once in a great while, another prefetch will be automatically created next time you run it. So, in the meantime, you are better off not cluttering up prefetch with stuff that is seldom used. Am i correct?

Just recently i did some thorough cleaning by running Regedit. I was amazed at how much junk was still shown in the Registry for programs (casinos, pokerrooms) that had been uninstalled. This was particularly true for Microgaming that was sitting in a number of odd places under software. I have the impression that by deleting stuff from Regedit it also took care of their Prefetch component.
