What is BitLocker?
BitLocker lets you encrypt the hard drive(s) on your Windows 7 and Vista Enterprise, Windows 7 and Vista Ultimate or Windows Server 2008 and R2. BitLocker will not encrypt hard drives for Windows XP, Windows 2000 or Windows 2003. Only Windows 7, Vista and Server 2008 include BitLocker. BitLocker drives can be encrypted with 128 bit or 256 bit encryption, this is plenty strong to protect your data in the event the computer is lost or stolen. BitLocker protects your hard drive from offline attack. This is the type of attack where a malicious user will take the hard drive from your mobile machine and connect it to another machine so they can harvest your data. BitLocker also protects your data if a malicious user boots from an alternate Operating System. With either attack method, BitLocker encrypts the hard drive so that when someone has physical access to the drive, the drive is unreadable. Now if you are a network admin and you need to harvest data from a hard drive when a machine fails, our tools include the functionality to prompt the admin for the recovery key so the hard drive can be accessed. We've done a good job at ensuring the data does not end up in the wrong hands, while making it easy for authorized users to access the data in the event of a failure.
What is the prefetch folder?
Each time you turn on your computer, Windows keeps track of the way your computer starts and which
programs you commonly open. Windows saves this information as a number of small files in the prefetch folder.
The next time you turn on your computer, Windows refers to these files to help speed the start process.
The prefetch folder is a subfolder of the Windows system folder. The prefetch folder is self-maintaining, and
there's no need to delete it or empty its contents. If you empty the folder, Windows and your programs will
take longer to open the next time you turn on your computer
