Prefetch is just a feature for Windows programs, or work for 3rd party too?

My understanding of Prefetch is that it monitors the use of programs and try to anticipate when they could be used and so loaded them in memory, ready to go.

It is just a feature for Windows programs, or work for 3rd party too?

For example, I use OpenOffice and the first time I open it, it takes several seconds to open. If I close and open the program via a session then always opens almost instantly (about two or three seconds) so it must be in RAM somewhere. Yet every day the initial aperture is slow.

Is - not what Prefetch is supposed to address?

Hi Mooly,

Modules are widely available on the Internet, and some are installed as part of an application or other software. If you have Add-ons installed, an add-on might be at the root of the issue.

  • Is remember each folder view settings feature for a party?

    Everyone remember of this Windows XP. You goto my computer/Tools/Folder Options.../View and there was formerly a check the box for "remember each folder view settings.

    It will be built into Windows 7, any time soon?

    The main reason why I love him is that I want my file music to open always as simply as possible, with a simple list of bands so it ends up being a really thin long window... It works pretty well. Windows 7 has completely lost the ability to do. I really want to have to use a 3rd party application... Please tell me it's be worked on... anyone?

    Hello

    I've been looking for a solution for about 2 weeks and nothing has worked until now!

    Last night, I think that I have found a workaround.  If you would like your records to maintain its display settings, then you records SHALL NOT USE THE LIBRARY to see!  the reason for this is because libraries allow you to access and mix and match the elements of one or more files quickly without moving them from their original location. Libraries themselves don't store your files or folders. Instead, they point to different locations on a hard drive or an external hard drive connected to your computer.

    So, now that we have now that we can try to work around this problem I did and works very well for me.

    1. go to start - and click on your user name which is completely on the right corner.
    2. go in Tools - folder options - General tab must be low and click on 'show all files '.
    3. now you will see your "Username" folder appear under "library".   If you expand this (user name) folder, you will see your documents folders and folders of photos, music etc folders.
    4. open any folder you want, and customizes the view as desired. You can make this record at all! and it will keep its display settings.

    It's worked for me!   I DO NOT USE RECORDS UNDER LIBRARY BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT KEEP THE SETTINGS OUT THERE! SO I SIMPLY CLOSE THE LIBRARY AND KEEP ONLY EXPANDED MY USERNAME AND ALL THE FILES IT CONTAINS.

    I HOPE THIS HELPS... PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF IT WORKED AND IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER BEST WAY TO HELP.

  • CAP order for 3rd-party libraries building?

    Hello

    This question comes back to haunt me. I have 3 jars of party (library, not apps from cldc) which are built according to the specifications of cldc/midp J2ME who should have no difficulty in supporting a cldc app on a blackberry. How the hell do I get the jar to compile a working cod and a pot I have referred to in my bb eclipse project?

    I managed to work around this problem before, when I have the source code. But I don't have it this time. I am ready to run the CAP and if necessary preverify command line!

    I am also aware of the approach of BlackBerry JDE to create a project of library with just the pot inside:

    http://www.BlackBerry.com/knowledgecenterpublic/livelink.exe/fetch/2000/348583/800901/How_To_-_Compi...

    But it does not work for me (I have tried several times with a different couple part 3 pots), the jar is either damaged or the Simulator cannot find the classes in the files of part 3.

    I know the official line is that third-party libraries are not supported by the eclipse plugin yet... But even the JDE must run Cap calls to build. If anyone can help me understand these commands, I'll build it manually. It's just a jar of third... Once it is built, I don't have to build it again.

    Thanks in advance for your time, I appreciate it greatly.

    It worked:

  • First card plugin folder Pro 2014 (for 3rd party plugins)

    I am trying to install a video plugin for first, and their setup program asks for the location of the plug-in folder.  When I choose a location (say/Library/Application Support / Adobe / Plug - Ins), their installer places an alias to this place.  First does not seem to use this location as the "Plug-in" folder, like video Neat plugin is not found in the effects.  So where should I point the installer?

    Thank you

    -Tony

    I got it.  In my folder/Library/Application Support / Adobe / Common, I manually create 3 folders "Plug-ins/7.0/MediaCore" and put the alias in MediaCore.  Now, I can access the plugin in first.  Must have been a problem during installation or first dissemination of first CC 2014.

  • 7645 envy: Envy 7645: some local Windows programs print, but some do not; all requests for remote printing works

    I replaced a HP Deskjet 5150 with a HP Envy 7645.  Connection via USB.

    I've seen all the entries of forums about the problems/bugs to get printing to work.  I tried all the...  HP Print doctor (no errors reported), several re - installs, etc.  all HP printing test pages.

    at this point, some programs the:

    1. print - IE 11, Adobe Reader, MS Live Mail 2012
    2. do not print without message - 35 FF, Quicken 2014, MS Word 2010

The XP CD that the system is referring to is your XP (maybe not the reinstallation CD) installation CD.  I would test of the first reinstallation CD to see if it has components which seeks the system. If it isn't you need to contact your manufacturer and get a CD of the OS on their part.
