Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SYSTEM\ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ Session Manager \ Memory Management\ PrefetchParameters
The default value for the EnablePrefetcher setting is 3. Change this value to 5 to make applications load faster. You can experiment with higher values?up to 9?and see if you get a further improvement.
Normally, multiple instances of the same application (such as multiple windows in IE) will share a single process thread. If you have stability problems or slow application loads, launching each application in its own process will improve stability and speed up load times.
Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ Control\PriorityControl
Optimise XP?s process priority control by setting the DWORD Value for in32PrioritySeperation to? well, the default is 2, and 27, 28, 37, 38, and more have all been quoted as good values (in decimal).
But after doing this,
- Go to My Computer
- select Tools menu.
- Choose the View tab in Folder Options .
- Check "Launch folder windows in a separate process."
This will run each application window in a separate process. Note that that each process will consume the same amount of memory so perform this only if you have 1GB or more of RAM.
This is for win xp. You may need to restart the computer for the change/effect to take place.

BAD IDEA
The default and optimum value for "EnablePrefetcher" is 3. Other values will impair performance. This value is not a know that can be adjusted as desired. It is a switch that independently controls both Application and Boot prefetching.
