No, do not clean out the prefetch directory. The only effect it'll have is to make the next reboot much slower as Windows rebuilds it all. Read this: http://www.edbott.com/weblog/archives/000743.html

Second that. I have experimented with deleting the contents of the prefetch before, didn't do squat. Defrag, msconfig, and services.msc for the win.
Anytime. I don't think there is any real damage to be done by deleting the contents of the prefetch, it's not something I would suggest to the casual user though.
Casual user might end up in a system32 folder by mistake and deleting dll's, inf etc.

How to speed up your Redhat Linux Computer Bootup and how can you make sure it will be gr8 computer to work with
Two of the seven documents at that site talk about deleting all or part of the contents of the prefetch folder in response to very specific and uncommon problems: a corrupted disk image installed from another computer--and I'd bet 99.9% of users have no idea what that means and will never encounter it anyway--and some other program starting when a user tries to start MS Word. The other five do not mention the prefetch folder except to identify it as the location of certain things. The site does not support your contention that deleting the contents of the prefetch folder will improve performance.
Were you going somewhere with that? Looks like you accidentally hit the Submit Reply button before you'd finished.

Stick with that; Unix/Linux is WAY better in all respects but two: PC games, and wireless networking.
Well... I'd certainly like to, but it's still got a pretty small market share. I've been using and running and managing computer systems approximately since you and they (in the large-scale commercial sense) were born, and I'd certainly agree that on technical merit Linux is vastly superior to Windows, which is a very weak design. I really dislike Microsoft's attitude that it knows better than I do what I want to do with my computer, I don't like files and directories I can't access, and I really hate not being able to keep the system, the applications, the users, and the data, properly isolated from each other. Read this, it's an eloquent and damning description of what's wrong with Windows and Microsoft: http://www.vanwensveen.nl/rants/microsoft/IhateMS.html
I use Mandrake Linux for most serious computing, but there are some PC games I like to play (mostly Call of Duty and Halo), there's no tax preparation software for Linux, and I've never been able to make my home wireless network work with Linux because the snotty vendors of wireless networking products will not provide the specs to the Linux community that'd let it write drivers for them, so I have to keep XP around on a dual-boot system. But if I could get rid of Windows, I would.
