Ive been tinkering with this for last 3 hours. I merged all the sysmain.dll and everything referring to that from Windows 7 build 7600. Ive gotten to the point that I have superfetch in services folder... however when you press start. It fails with error code 1083.
Im not quite sure what files are needed to make it run. Its my first time attempting to do such things. For a beginner like me... very much luck is needed!

I just started the superfetch service on R2 about 2 minutes ago after quite a bit of tinkering around:  Once I get some time (most likely tomorrow), I will package up the registry files and whatnot and let you know how i did it. Next project: ReadyBoost. Kevin McCann

*sigh* Seems i spoke too soon. I can get the service to start but shortly thereafter it exits and when i attempt to restart it, it gives me an Error 2: can not find the file specified. If only I knew which file  Once the system is rebooted i am able to start the service but again it will exit.

I am guessing that, due to the way SuperFetch works, and the lack of support in R2, porting it is not possible. The R2 kernel likely would not have the support that would be required. Even if the relevant files could be ported, and the service could be started, I don't think it would be able to actually work, and would not make any difference.

I love proving people wrong  Got it working last night and verified that the Prefetch folder was being populated correctly with no more errors in event viewer. As I mentioned before I will post all my findings this afternoon. I am not at my home computer so I can't do it right now.

That is certainly VERY interesting. I'm very interested in what Im doing wrong (propably something stupidly obvious, as always).

Especially if there is a noticeable difference and benchmarks showing it working, rather than just the service running...

Ok, zipped it up for everyone. You'll note that there is ReadyBoost info in there. I originally started with the thought of implementing it but ran into some issues so i put it on hold and switched to Superfetch. I did notice that BootPlan info under the ReadyBoost reg keys has changed/updated itself so it may all be connected. The ReadyBoost service is set disabled until I figure it out (I have some ideas  ) so don't worry about that (Unless you have some suggestions). If someone wants to slim this down/do some more testing to see if everything is needed, feel free to do so. I will say that msscntrs.dll was a key file to getting this working. Just merge the reg file, copy the rest to your Windows dir and reboot. Anyway, file is here: http://mysite.verizon.net/dmccann79/2008_R2_Superfetch.zipFeel free to ask any questions and have fun with it Ahhhh, I'm an idiot Forgot you need to edit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Svchost and add sysmain to LocalSystemNetworkRestricted Sorry! Was late when i finished last night.
