Prefetch Files missing in XP

[1shadow]

Anybody lost their .pf files in the WIN Prefetch folder. Lost the files and the Layout.ini. Tried a number of 'solutions' - none work. The most popular one..typing in >rundll32.exe advapi32.dll,ProcessIdleTasks< at the cmd prompt and rebootong 3 times also did not work.

Ultimatederag needs the layout.ini to further speed up boot up and launches.


Tried the Registry mod to change the named EnablePrefetcher from 3 - 2 - 1 - 0 ....none restored the files.

(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters)
