5. Empty the Windows pre-file every three months or less. Windows XP "Prefetch" lots of data and applications busy. This makes the process seem to load faster when called by the user. But, over time, before the folders can perhaps overloaded with references to files and applications are no longer in use. If this happens, Windows XP is time to slow system performance and preload.
