#64713 Posted on: 06/03/2006 01:45 AM To give a Masterlies like response - "cripple" can be defined as; "A person or animal that is partially disabled or unable to use a limb or limbs." Using CCleaner to remove old prefetch data in no way cripples an application.

#64725 Posted on: 06/03/2006 07:40 PM I think I summed it best with a previous response: The delete option from your file browser can easily cripple your system but more likely will be used to visibly remove unwanted files. CCleaner and other such programs simply enable the user to do this easily, primarily with those that record a history of your useage. Enabling the Temporary Internet Files option will similarly slow down (or more accurately, not speed up) your browsing until it is rebuilt. CCleaner does not provide an option to disable that function nor prefetching. Again, it only provides a choice to remove records (or not) on a per use basis.

#64726 Posted on: 06/03/2006 11:00 PM I think the word "Cripple" would only apply if you actually turned prefetching off, personally I don't mind cleaning out the folder once in a while and waiting a bit longer the first time I open an app up!

#64727 Posted on: 06/04/2006 12:13 AM Cleaning Browser related temp items only effects the browser cache. And since most pages change daily this is irrelevant. CCleaner irresponsibly removes Prefetch files based on a date stamp that has nothing to do with whether the application is still installed or not. This is not only pointless but it cripples the applications cold launch times for the Prefetch files removed. Since Windows XP self cleans this folder it makes this even more useless. The scarey part comes down to once the NTFS last access date check it disabled then CCleaner deletes the whole folder.

#64728 Posted on: 06/04/2006 12:15 AM Spoken by someone completely ignorant of how Windows Prefetching works. Do you also intentionally fragment your HD too every so often? How about randomly turning off your CPU cache? Maybe you would be a sucker for this too if it was a useless option on a program like CCleaner.
