Question about Prefetch - somehow set auto clear, how it stop doing that?

Some time ago I followed the instructions of the random people on the internet (stupid, I know) blindly and found a way to put my Prefetch to delete automatically whenever I restart my computer. I would like to change that - I was wondering how I would be able to undo that, now that the other programs are telling me that my Prefetch folder was recently allowed and that it is a 'bad' thing.

I remember well, it was actually a microsoft... HMM, not sure what they call them, something I used to do. He said that he would set up my settings so that Prefetch would open automatically during startup (I think).

How do I reverse this order? Please help ~! Thank you 1 million.

Hi MissChes,

You will need to make changes in the system registry.

Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, see the link below.

Back up the registry

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/back-up-the-registry

(a) click Start, type regedit in the search box and press OK

(b) in the registry, navigate to the following location.

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

(c) in the left pane, double-click EnablePrefetcher and make sure that the value is set to 3

(d) close the registry editor, restart the computer and check if it works.

I hope this helps!

    You make this kind of adjustments in the regional and Language Options applet.

    Click Start, settings, Control Panel, regional and Language Options.

    On the Regional Options tab, in the section Standards and formats, your language is selected.

    To the right of your selected language, click on the Customize button, the click the time tab.

    Change the Format of the time to your desires.

    Eastern Standard time: h:mm:ss:tt

    Military time would be: HH

    Click OK, OK to save the settings.

    You don't need to restart, but I would reboot in any case to ensure the changes 'stick '.

    Do, or do not. There is no test.

  • How to stop programs that run automatically at startup?

    Hi I just wanted to know how to stop programs from running automatically at startup, I already ran msconfig and disabled programs that I don't want to run at startup and it always automatically start also on msconfig, it indicates the applications that I don't want to run at startup is disabled and it always runs at startup. The programs that I don't want to run at startup are tom tom home and bbc iplayer desktop, but he always runs at startup.

    One other thing is when I install new programs, that they automatically run at startup without my permission.

    Palcouk did preferred proposals. Another way to identify which loads when you start using Autoruns (freeware from Microsoft).
    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902

    With Autoruns, you can deselect an item which disables startup, or you can click with the right button on an item, then remove it. If you clear the check box that you can check back for re - activate the element. It is an approach much safer than editing the registry and better than using msconfig.

    A useful feature of the program is that you can click with the right button on an item and select search online to get information about the selected item.

  • A few questions about the p6674y of hp and how best to update its graphics capabilities

    Hello

    I'm interested in upgrading my HP p6674y with a nicer graphics card. I've had this computer for about 2 years now. If I have to, I'm ready to upgrade the power to do this (even if I have no idea how to do this). I just want to be able to play YOUR v: Skyrim on my computer.

    If there is a way to upgrade just the graphics card, I want to do. The truth is that I am inexperienced with these sorts of things, then I want to be making sure not to break my beautiful machine, try to add or update!

    Do you have suggestions for what models graphics card or power supply purchase that will work with my computer?

    Thanks for any help you can give me.

    The recommended map is circa 2011 GTX550Ti (400W). See here

    Would require a new power supply, because your system has a skinny 250W. Ideally, you should select a 500W-630W PSU, as the power curve is best. The key is to find the mentioned card. Latest maps could support UEFI BIOS, and that would not work for you.

  • Question about the cmdlet set-hard drive

    Hi out there,.

    I would like to move a group of new data warehouses vmdk using the cmdlet set-hard drive.

    But I want to start moving just a svmotion operation at a time.

    How could I get the id of the task of the vcenter svmotion operation initiated by game-hard drive, so that I can use wait-job to wait to complete the svmotion operation to start the following?

    any idea of... tips are welcome...

    concerning

    Hello

    Welcome to the VMware communities.

    The cmdlet Set - hard drive doen't have a parameter - RunAsync, as for example, the Move-VM cmdlet. This means that the each hard drive Set command must finish before the next command can begin. To this effect, you don't have to perform the synchronization of tasks yourself when you use the cmdlet Set-hard drive.
