The tech help asked me to delete these in the process of reparing a problem. Later I noticed they were in the trash. What are these files? Do I need to restore them or delete them? Am still unable to get back on my case # I'll maybe have to call them.

Windows XP Professional monitors the files that are used when the computer starts and when you start applications. By monitoring these files, Windows XP Professional can prefetch them. Prefetching data is the process whereby data that is expected to be requested is read ahead into the cache. Prefetching boot files and applications decreases the time needed to start Windows XP Professional and start applications.\n\nPrefetching is further improved if the files are located next to each other on the outer edge of the disk. Windows XP Professional optimizes the location of boot files and applications when the computer is idle. The optimization occurs in the background and lasts only a minute or two; you might hear the hard disk being accessed when optimization occurs. After the initial optimization takes place, subsequent optimization occurs, at most, every three days.\n\nWhen you run the Disk Defragmenter tools that are included with Windows XP Professional, they can perform any optimization updates that are scheduled to take place during the next idle period. The Disk Defragmenter tools do not disturb the existing layout of optimized boot files and applications.\n\nHope this helps!!\nKeith\nHttp://ww.eHDMI.com

Nope, sorry.  They're gone.\n\nYou could possibly get them back by doing a system restore to a restore point a day or so ago.  But I'm not sure even that would work.\n\nYou could check to see if there are copies still on your email provider's server.

I also have a same file in my E drive. I asked some computer pro and he said it's just a log and you can delete it with no problem.

I would suggest not downloading those files b/c you do not know who sent it.  Never do it no matter how tempting.  And, on Yahoo Answers there should be no need.  There is a space below the answer sections that the answerer can use to refer you to sources on the internet or wherever, and then you just click on it if it's a website.\n\nutopianwizard\nYahoo Answers Brainiac Team

No they are not deleted because that happened to me and I thought I lost them, just look and try to find the bookmarks, click on one of them and they all show again, I think is the program is not that you have any virus, anyway they are there somewhere..☺

Bacause they have been compressed. You have your hard drive set to compress old files to save space. This also happens when you do a disk clean up - they get compressed. Nothing to worry about.

If you aren't sure of this file. DELETE it. Could be a virus.\n\nIf file name make some sense to you, extract and see the contents.

How did you upload them? Did you drag and drop into your memory stick? If so, you deleted them from your stick, and they will still be there. Simply plug in your stick to your computer, and drag and drop them from the memory stick, to a computer folder (C drive).

This most likely means that something changed on you computer that caused a software conflict. This could either be a Windows Update issue, or perhaps you just installed software or hardware.\n\nThe best thing to do at this point, without getting too deep into difficult solutions, is to perform a System Restore (NOT a recovery disk from the computer manufacturer).\n\nIn safe mode, go to Programs-Accessories-System Tools-System Restore. Do a Restore to an earlier time, and set it to just before the problem started. If a restore point is available just a few days ago, then your data should all be there. I've seen times when a restore will erase your personal files, BUT only when choose a restore date from a long time ago.\n\nNOW keep an eye on what the computer does, and perhaps you can see what causes it to do it again (hopefully it won't, but it's possible).

Do you want to find them, or delete them? Not so self explanatory. Short of formatting the drive and doing a government wipe, bits and pieces of whatever is on there, will stay on there. Recovery software, generally, is only going to restore the operating system.

I would copy them to some kind of disk and note where they were stored.  Then I would remove them, if the machine acts up you can always put them back that way.  \n\nI seriously doubt you need them if they are identified as AOL files/keys.  AOL is notoriously bad at removing itself and associated applets from machines--its a very undisciplined suite of programs and files and it took me a couple of years to find all of them and remove them.\n\nAnother thought, you could take the key's respective names and google them...you will then find out what they do and what programs they are connected with.  That might help you decide if you want to yank them off the drive....
