I have heard that disabling the Prefetch can be beneficial. I usually delete the files in C:\Windows\Prefetch monthly and there is a lot of obselete entries. I can't see any real benefit of having a Prefetch to start off with. Is it worth disabling or should I leave it alone? Thanks All...

I am a little confused with the computer power supply. My current supply (300W) has all the power outlets taken up. This is only used to power my two hard drives and two CD-ROMs. I recently got a thermaltake crystal orb (video card chipset fan), and I had to run it from a case fan plug on...

I have a question about LILO. I currently use my WinXP bootloader and have a reference to linux in the Boot.ini config. When Linux boots, LILO prompts to select DOS or Linux to load. This is unecessary, as I want it to boot straight to Linux with no intervention. This is my lilo.conf file...

Does anyone know if you can safely delete the 'ALL USERS' directory from 'Documents and Settings'? The reason I want to do this is that I am the only user, and the folder is pretty much empty. The only time I need to use anything from there is when an application puts its shortcut in the...
