  • Wow this really works.

  • It actually does work, but the drawback is that it can cause errors in some programs that can corrupt the program file. Don't know of anything specific though...

    ________

  • I know this trick,and is 100% working its alot faster...And thats is because every directory in r PC have that prefetch and it set to 0 when you make it on 1 sortcut knows where to reat that program and its faster..

  • Thank you so much! :D

  • IDK i have a 12 GB RAM intel i7 ( 8 cores ) so im never really waiting to long , but cheers if it works for you ( ill leave good enough alone )

  • Try Opening your program a couple of times Before Adding Prefetch ... from some reason it goes faster and faster any way ..

  • YAYAYA It works xD

  • doesn't work --'

  • thx this really helped dude =]

  • IT WORKEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD­DDDDDDDDDDDD :) thanks so much!

  • does this work for auto startup programs like skype , msn, etc.

  • It takes 12 seconds for Adobe Photoshop to open, now it takes 3 sconds.

  • WOW! thanks! :D

  • you never explained what /prefetch:1 does, all you said is it makes the programs open fast, mind explaining this in more detail?

  • thks dude it works great........best videos great stuff.....

  • It is a great video dude but you must tell us what type of pc do you have...for example its specification dude...thks great video.......

  • thank u so much!

  • Thank you .......tony

  • Wow, I used to open vegas 9 pro in 21 secs now 5!!!!

    Thanks

  • Thx but can you make a tutorial wiht CS5 photoshop download?

  • it dosnt wrk u noob

  • thx.. really faster..

  • whats record screen program u use ?

  • what is the command for? why does it go faster when you add that? :S

  • thanks

  • you mentioned that this doesnt speed up the actual program, do u no a way i cud do that?

  • IT WORKS!!!!!!!!! :D

  • Lol, pirated copy. Also, there is no such this as /prefetch:1. All programs are prefetched you idiot :). This myth is even debunked on Microsofts blog.

  • ?????????????????????????:d

  • at least someone understands my grievances, AfterFX CS3 takes 3.25 minutes to load.. on my system, thanks for the trick anyway!

  • Thank you SO much! My photoshop usually takes about 3 minutes to load - with this trick, it's taking me less than a minute! Thanks again!

  • get rocketdock or something ancient.

    AFX opened slower due to your screen capture. Most programs open quicker the second time you open them in one boot.

  • how do you get the task bar he has at top of screen, my computer is completey modded out, its beast, but i have the same old vista task bar, i want that lol, anyone help?

  • download rocket dock

  • first time u start an appz is always take longer then u lauch it second time u NOOB

  • @truviet911 oh.. like he only installed after effects just for this tutorial?! Of course he run it before, so this makes YOU the "NOOB"..

  • @cheatonly2win He didn't I think he has always had it -_-

  • If you need to know what happens, prefetch is a device (boolean) injected into your computer. It basically just grabs the program and starts making it work right away instead of loading properly.

  • takes longer becuase your running the program to record your screen while your trying to run it

  • can someone explain to me how this works????????? does the program run in your packground before hand or something???

  • 47 seconds to 12 seconds WHAT NOW!

  • what is the dw icon? (at top of screen at the start)

  • its called dream weaver

  • @danwestaway dream weaver is used to create websites

  • oké thanks

  • dosent work noob

  • That was good for my windows live messenge thanks very much

  • how did you made that background (really cool)

  • photoshop!

  • Nothing can flock up things like Flock. It's just flocking amazing. I'm flocking.

    Flock is basically Firefox with Facebook and stuff addons so if you don't do this and that often then just don't get Flock.

  • how did ya get that thing like in vista close program or wait program thing?

  • wow it actualy works... my programs now load in about 2/3 of the time... dosnt sound like much but it makes a good difference ... thnx soooo much :)

  • where can i get one of them taskbars that has all your icons on it like you have at the top of your screen?

  • I suspect that the "add /prefetch:1 to make rocket go now" urban legend will never die, though. I know that at least one major company ships products with it in their shortcuts, without ever asking us... just for good measure, I guess. :-P All it does is change your hash number -- the OS is doing exactly the same thing it did before, and just saving the prefetch pages to a different file.

  • thanks

  • any program you loaded previously is going to load faster because it is already in the cache, this doesnt prove anything sorry

  • thanks. did work on adobe photoshop, but not in Internet Explorer

  • LOL Internet explorer. Get firefox.

  • Err, Google Chrome?

  • Chrome is a failure. Firefox: 18 MB.

    Chrome: 48 MB

  • Lol!! No harm trying, right?

    I'm very satisfied with it...

    "Don't judge a software by its size..."

    Lol!!

  • Nice man... 5/5!

  • can you make a tutorial on how to get the bigbanner at the top to hold your programs?

  • hmm seems to work but the only problem is...

    my computer is so fast that they is a different of max. 1 sec. xDD

    but i gave u 4-5 ...stars

  • DUDE! You play DooM NICE!

  • Thanks worked very much, i did with sony vegas it took me about 30seconds without it and about 10 with

  • why does this work???

  • How I understand this works is when you but in /prefetch in the target of a program it tells the computer to load the big parts of the program into its memory under a standby, so when you click on it the computer only needs to fetch small amounts of information to start the program because most of the program has already been loaded before you even have clicked on it.

  • in other words it takes up RAM

  • This is good for frequently used programs but I would suggest that you not do it to everything unless you have allot of extra memory in your computer because it will tie some of it up preloading programs.

  • alot of the programs i try this on dont have a writable thing for th /prefetch??? do u know why???

  • it should work on any executable file (.exe)

  • it does on some of my stuff but for some whenever i go into the properties and go to where u rite the stuff it isn't writable (cant change the shortcut or wuteva)???

  • I see what you mean it dose that on the i tunes icon for me I don't Know why it is doing that. you may be able to get around it by the program files folder finding the executable file for program you want and and making a new shortcut. it should let you edit the target field after that.

  • Thx Man This is 5 stars

  • im lame but this is coooooool totaly thx.

  • works amazingly well for PS 5/5

  • with google it was 18 miliecs faster.... so it was fast...

  • half a minute ^^ thx m8..

  • OMG AWESOME!!!! Dood thanks :P I play tons of fps games on my pc and they take forever to load up U SAVED MY LIFE MAN 5 stars and a new sub

  • nice video 5/5. the only reason your computer is slow when u make videos is because camtasia studio 5 uses up 1/2 of your CPU i have camtasia studio 5 and it does the same thing :)

  • thnx alot made my firefox way faster ill comment, rate and subscribe.

  • hey, what render settings do you use to make it fullscreen? Right now im using 960x540

  • On some programs i cant edit the target?

  • I tried this on several programs and get this error.

    Warning: An error occured while loading the project file. An invalid argument was specified.

    When I added to IE it wouldn't even open at all..

  • You screwed up the target then. Did you add " /prefetch:1" after the "?

  • THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!! 5 STAR'S AND A SUBSCRIBER!!! (that's me) ^^

  • i tried it on dreamweaver, fireworks and flash cs4 but didn't make a big difference. It did make a difference on photoshop cs3. Maybe cs4 doesn't work with this?

  • no but this made it even slower :D ty

  • nice O.o

  • i tried it with photoshop cs4 portable, and it didn't make any difference, but that might be because its not running from program files =/

  • It really works great, thanks ! ^^

    Please make some tutorials for after effects for beginners xD !^^

  • This is claimed to be a myth/urban legend pretty much everywhere I look, but I just tried it and it works...

    So, what's the deal?

  • Wow it works! Cuts time from ten second to three seconds for Indesign and Photoshop. Firefox quicker too. Thanks so much. Will do this for all programs. Wonder why it works?

  • I tried it for photoshop too. It started 10 seconds without. Added it in and it went to 5. Took it out and it stayed at 5. Doesnt work that well.

  • AWESOME !!! 5 stars !

  • awesome again, now wow starts up in a flash, do you know if theres a limit of how many programs can use it?

  • hey, u sped up the clock when u were showing that it goes faster...

  • i also just tried it for my adobe premiere elements 7, it goes faster without the prefetch:1

  • No he didn't...

  • wow our computer is really the same expect i have a bit more ram and HD GB then u lol and i see u got windows care aswell

  • When I use Adobe After Effects CS3 I used the /prefetch:1 thing you show in this video it's a lot slower for me so I use the default settings.

  • by the second firefox start up its 0:06 seconds faster

  • O ya U rock!!

  • it works lol sikkk nice 1 man

  • It works^^

    Thanks!

  • Thanks, Erik. Damn, I want your computer... I downloaded this video, to test it out... 5 minute download, for the HQ.

  • /prefetch:1

  • how did you get adobe after effects?

  • Thanks for this video. However in my case it loaded faster without adding the prefetch:1.

    I am not sure what the reason would be for this to happen on my computer...

  • vegas and camtasia almost instantly load thanks man

  • thanks man, it use to take me 20 seconds to boot up Photoshop now it only takes 3 seconds.

  • nice one mate!

  • son yvegas does not work

  • awesome but it made one of my programs start up slower lol

  • photoshop cs4 went uber fast for me xD ty ur vids rule xD :)

  • how did you get that little timer in the corner?

    please reply

  • Comment removed

  • He probably put that in when he was editing on vegas

  • Couldn't it be that it loaded faster because the program is still in his/your RAM?

  • + you can kind of guess what it does.

    Pre meaning before and fetch meaning load

    So it'll basically be running in the background, which slows down your computer... not a good idea unless your computer is already pretty fast.

  • LOL, owned your "my computers fast" ;)

    imsure.

    + isnt this just VvCompHelpvV's vid remade? ¬¬

  • Worked for me thanks man

  • nice tut i needed sumthing to make my pc faster because sony vegas takes about 2 minutes to start and AAE takes around 8 minutes so hopefully this will make them alot faster i will have to try it when i get back to my house

  • it dosent work for most apps it says corrupt or somethin

  • Maybe its cause your not an administrator or something

  • /prefetch:1 - noted! thanks a lot man

  • Works, i tried this on sony vegas pro 8 and when it opens up a window pops up and says

    "Warning: an error occured when opening the project file. An invalid argument was specified"

    other than that, thanks

  • all of it still works but yeh i got that as well

  • this actually isnt good for your computer...what it does it uses all the ram you have not used at that milisecond and divides by 1.2 and uses that ram and slows EVERY thing else down

  • You copied this from VvCompHelpvV :P

  • Lol, actually my friend showed me this. I don't know when he told me that but I remember watching his video on it so maybe my friend learned it from him but I knew of this trick before seeing comp vhelps video

  • ok sorry for that lol :P

  • ok...so....my PC load's like 892375892376592873% faster when i HAVE added it once, opened it, and then removed the link...then Sony vegas Pro open's like in 2 sec's O.o

  • This does work but wat does the prefetch thing mean?

  • it doesnt work with the rocket dock does it :(

  • Cool it works

  • hmmm....it seem's nice enough, but how can a little changing in the target thing make it go SO mutch faster? i mean, it's awsome, but....it's just like..WO.oW

  • ace!

  • how did you get the photoshop C3 or whhatever it was called? did you get it for free?

  • TPB..utorrent

  • hey. could you do a tutorial on how to get adobe soft ware? any kind but preferably after effects and photoshop cs

  • Eureka it works thanks dude :)

  • How much was AE? or did u get it for free tell me how :)

  • Where can I download that Mac-style bar you have?
