Maxthon Browser Prefetch


http://www.stopyourekillingme.com/

Do you know anything about the Maxthon Browser?

look at the Features link. This is where Maxthon really started to impress me. For starters, they offer tabbed browsing. Now, I know most of you already use tabbed browsing in either Internet Explorer 7 or Firefox, but Maxthon brings its own unique style to the feature as well. When you use it, all of your Web pages are arranged in order along the top of the main window. There's also a wonderful right click menu that comes along with each new tab you open.

Of course, that's only one of the features Maxthon offers. Some of the others include Anti-Freeze, Mouse Gestures, Super Drag and Drop, Maxthon Smart Acceleration, Undo List, Magic Fill, Online Favorites Service, Feed Reader, Super Proxy, URL Alias, Web Bar, Utilities, URL Key, Ad Hunter, Screen Capture and Web Sniffer. Wow! As you can see, this browser comes along with just about everything you could possibly need. Since there are so many features, I didn't have enough time to explain all of them, but if you want to learn more about a certain one or all of them, just click here to do so!

Prefetch Clutter

Do you find that it takes longer and longer for applications to open when you boot Windows XP? One common cause is the Win XP prefetch system.

"What's Prefetch?" you ask. It's a way for Windows to pre-load the data needed for running applications before you launch them. It's supposed to make them launch quicker. What actually happens is that programs you hardly ever use take up space and the wrong data gets prefetched.

Good news—these PF instructions can safely be deleted making your boot time faster.

Go to Start / Run and type in "Prefetch" (or go to C:\WINDOWS\PREFETCH). You'll probably see a big long list.

Go ahead and Ctrl+A to select all then hit the Delete key.

The next time you boot, XP will rebuild the list according to the applications you actually use.
