Enhance Prefetching In Windows Xp A Vista enhancement that works in Win XP

One of the new features that the new OS from Microsoft (called Vista) will be the ability to start programs faster thanks to even better pre-fetching than that in Windows XP. However, this ability is no longer restricted to the new OS with existing users of Win XP being able to enable an even better prefetch than what they currently experience.

Tech gurus have come up with a fix, so to speak which involves editing a Registry Key.

Backup your registry before making any changes. Do everything carefully and @ your own risk!

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParametersOn the right side, EnablePrefetcher has a default value of 3. Change it to 1 for an improvement.
