XP disk defragmentation prompt file is corrupted, what should I do?

  

Sometimes the computer is frequently cleaned. When the disk is defragmented on the C drive today, the system prompts “The C:Windowsprefetch WMIPRVSE.EXE-28F301A9.pf” file is corrupted and the scan cannot be performed”. So I sorted out the other partitions to see if it was the same problem. As a result, other partitions did not have similar problems. What happened?

Reason analysis:

Originally in Windows XP In order to improve the loading speed of the system and various applications, XP uses the "pre-read" technology. The key to pre-reading technology is to learn the previous boot process and optimize the load mode for the various files used during the boot process. This optimization technique is also used in the software. The system analyzes the first few startups of each software, and then creates a virtual "memory image" describing the application requirements and saves this information to "C: Windowsprefetch” folder. Once the image is built, the software startup speed is greatly improved. However, poor pre-reading will generate a large number of pre-read files, occupying valuable hard disk space, resulting in a system search burden and slowing down the system. After the system is used for a period of time, the pre-reading folder will become very large, and there will be some dead link files in it, and some even cause some other problems.

Solution:

Knowing the reason, it is much easier to solve the above problems. Just enter this pre-read folder and select to delete the dead link file that has the problem. can.

Note: Generally, do not delete all the files in this folder unless you still have an error or if there is a problem at startup, it is recommended to empty the folder.
