Great work Rom-Dos ... although one of these tweaks do not work and are a myth... which is the (EnableSuperfetch) to load programs 15% faster,etc. I got this from another site.
EnableSuperfetch Tweak
Myth - "Enabling this improves performance in Windows XP as it does in Windows Vista."
Reality - "This myth was started when the Inquirer irresponsibly ran a bogus letter without doing any fact checking. Windows internals guru Mark Russinovich said this won't work, the "Superfetch" string isn't even in the Windows XP kernel. You can confirm this yourself by checking with the strings.exe utility. This makes it impossible for it to do anything since no "Superfetch" command exists. Windows cannot execute a nonexistent command and will simply ignore it. Anyone who says this works is not only lying but a fool." - Source
Which you can find the page at
http://mywebpages.Comcast.net/SupportCD/XPMyths.html#OptimizationArcticWolf ~ the couple of articles (
http://bink.nu/Article4556.bink and
http://www.edbott.com/weblog/archives/000863.html ) are pointing out and referencing the same un-quotible and basically un-substantiated remark that Mark Russinovich may have said, . . .but do you think he or microsoft would really admit to it? ~ I don't think so.

"I agree that not finding the string in the kernel is damning, but does that absolutely guarantee that the technology does not lay dormant in XP in some other way? I wish Mark had gone that extra step. At the very least, MS should weigh in on this. I’m not sure how to explain away the sizeable number of people who try this and meet with success…it’s a few too many for comfort."
. . .all I can say, if it even 'seems' to work ~ why not use it!
. . .it seems to work!
There’s a pretty interesting thread about it here:

having set Superprefetch in my Registry, I've notived my boot-up time almost cut in half (less than 30 secs) and more Commit Charge added to Ram. ~ that's good enough for me to believe! . . .it may take a few reboots or start-ups to notice the diff.
