How To Speed Up Your Computer

First, open run, and type: %temp% (Hit Enter)
Delete all files displayed.
Open run again, type: cookies (Hit Enter)
Delete all files displayed.
Open run, type: prefetch (Hit Enter) [If you want to complain about this, because you think that deleting prefetch files is bad, read my spoiler!]
Delete all files displayed.
After you have done that stuff, you might want to run windows disk cleanup, and disk defragmenter.
If you still want more space on your PC, I highly suggest that you get a program called "ccleaner". It's free, and it works well. Here's a where you can download it: http://www.ccleaner.com/download
If you're a freak about making your computer even faster, please ask me for more information.
There are still more tutorials to come!

- The prefetch folder is used for speeding up your system. The way it does this is by doing the following:
* Windows XP is configured to prefetch application and program components so that when you load them to memory; it appears to be very quick.
* When XP does this the first time, it winds up copying portions of the program to the prefetch area of your local disk.
* When XP boots up, XP will prefetch portions of the files you use the most.
* XP loads all associated files, libraries, and pointers necessary to run the program in advance, the preloaded subset makes your system appear quicker.
Prefetch when unattended can also slow down your system. This is because over time
* XP will retain a copy of a portion of a program in the prefetch folder even if you only use it one time, which is not good. Since you may not use the program again, you may impact the performance of your system by having portions of a program you do not use loaded in your system's memory.
* XP systems with very low hardware resources (such as memory and hard disk space) will definitely be affected by an over-bloated prefetch folder.

It should, i'm not sure. Note: If you have alot of prefetch files, delete all of them. If you only have 5 or 6 of them, don't delete any.
