Hi people,

Could you please tell me what are the default values of Server 2008 R2 under this key?

HKLMSYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession ManagerMemory ManagementPrefetchParameters

I’d like to know the default values of EnablePrefetcher and EnableSuperfetch.

Also, does anyone know what do the “enablesuperfetch” values mean?

There is conflicting information all over the web. Look for example here:
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/change-superfetch-to-only-cache-system-boot-files-in-vista/

Some people say that 1 means boot optimization only, other people say it means apps optimization only. And there are even people that say that it doesn’t make any difference at all to change it from 3 to 1.

Unfortunately, Microsoft has only documented the “EnablePrefetcher” parameter, and only for Windows XP.

The meaning of that parameter in Vista and higher OS is a mystery 🙁
