Hi!
I've been looking into the boot time of my laptop (ASUS N71Jq), which I've had for about 1 year now. I measured 2:30 to 3:00 from pressing power to desktop. Doing this I've found that the boot time for the Prefetch cache has a rather long degradation:

I had Auslogics Defrag Pro installed on my Windows 7 computer and was able to do Simple defrag, Free space optimization, and Optimize by Prefetch Layout without any issues. I installed Auslogics DefragPro on my new Windows 8 and tried to run Optimize by Prefetch Layout, but got a message that...
I believe Prefetch was created for Win XP and Superfetch was an improvement for Vista.
In my Win 7 registry I have Prefetcher and Superfetch. Notice the different spellings for each? One is followed by “er” but not the other.
Is Prefetcher the same or different than Prefetch...

ive been testing superfetch ON OFF to see what performance gains/loss is like - i got some unusual unexpected behaviour in that turning it OFF in registry did not work, disabling the superfetch service works somewhat in that it still prefetchs stuff into RAM just not as much whereas before when...
...but rather than re-installing the OS ( W7 Ultimate ) and all software can I not simply make an image and copy it to the SSD, thereafter modifying the BIOS to boot from the SSD rather than the original HDD leaving the latter available for data only ? I gather I have to disable Prefetch, Super...

How to check the status of Superfetch/ReadyBoost/ Prefetch? I see in properties of my 2 SSDs under "policies" tab a setup for "Write -caching policy". Is this relevant?
:confused:
The auto hide function of the taskbar stopped working several days ago. I notice when searching that this has been a problem back even to the XP days. Any suggestions. I have already tried deleting the prefetch directory with no success.
Thanks
This morning I recieved a telephone call from someone claiming to be a MS rep saying I'd reported some virus activity on my machine. He then asked me to call up my 'temp' files and with nothing being found in there he then asked me to call my 'prefetch' files. This time the folder did indeed...
