Heres a screenshot of my taskmanager with firefox etc running. Superfetch has been enabled almost the whole day.

I can't test myself, but if anyone is interested, I would suggest using the timeit utility from the 2003 resource kit, and measuring execution time of a big program like photoshop, a middle program like firefox and something smaller like adboe reader, after booting, after opening a heap of other stuff, and after having each program open for a while and then closing, to compare with superfetch on and off to see if it is working and not just using up memory.

Hmm thanks for share your files, but how do you write the winsxs part ? Sounds like no way to do anything in this dir

You may have to take ownership of the directory and then give yourself permission to write/create files there. Google for better directions on how to do this. Can I ask why you're using Server 2008 R2 as an operating system? I don't mean to offend you, but most people who would do that would already know how to change permissions, etc.

I'm stupid, it's about 1 year ago that I needed to change the ownership of files.
I got it it for a few hours, service started - will see if it works properly or not ?

You just didn't update your package with the lost reg string yet ?

but again thanks and have a nice weekend

Havent really benchmarked anything but I know Superfetch is working and filling my memory. Last two days I have noticed my memory usage has become higher. It used to be 600-680 idle and now its 890-980 idle.

Do I feel any difference? Not really..

Yo see results by using outlook, it starts in a few seconds ( on server 2008 ) will see what happen on R2

but after a few hours with superfetch:

before: 400MB in cache - and now 2400MB in cache


@kmccann1: I use the server os since .NET Server 2003 3718 - and it always works well, now I have a workstation and I also prefer this OS ( by using AMD Opteron - Tyan System )

That's what we need!

However, the strange thing is: after I saw your Task Manager I looked into mine and saw the following:This is my Server 2008 R2 Task Manager without *any* prefetching stuff installed, not even tried a second to hack it into Windows Server 2008 R2! Looks like there is already some (hidden) prefetching service installed or something...

Also, can someone enlighten which files/registry keys need to be grabbed from Windows 7? That way people can cooperate and continue building on that knowledge.

Btw can someone check their event viewer for a rdyboost error (event ID 7026). I don't know why I'm getting this, readyboost should be disabled in the reg file right? Also can't find it in services.msc.

I played some GTA IV, then I returned back to desktop. 3 hours now on desktop and still 1.5gb of mem free? Im starting to having doubts wether the superfetch actually does anything, because before I was playing GTA IV I had 28mb of mem free.
