My guide to prefetch cleaning
-------------------------------------
first make a file in your XP system drive root named "prefetch.bat" and enter this into the file (replace C: with the drive letter you have XP installed on)

md C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch\pf_tmp\
move C:\windows\prefetch\CMD*.pf C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch\pf_tmp\
move C:\windows\prefetch\USER*.pf C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch\pf_tmp\
move C:\windows\prefetch\NTOS*.pf C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch\pf_tmp\
del C:\windows\prefetch\*.pf /q
move C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch\pf_tmp\*.* C:\windows\prefetch\
rd C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch\pf_tmp\



From the Start menu, select "Run:
Type in "gpedit.msc"

In the window that appears, under the "computer configuration" heading, expand "windows settings"

under "windows settings", select "Scripts (Startup/Shutdown)"

double click "shutdown" from the right window

click "add"

click browse and locate your "prefetch.bat" file

click "open"

click "OK"

click apply or OK to finalize this process.

Now you are done. every time you shut down or restart your computer, it will run your shutdown script to delete the prefetch files and give you a faster startup.
