Such applications are  Adobe Photoshop, Dreamweaver, After Effects and a lot more. Why not speed them up with a trick? Follow the steps below and you'll see your application start up faster than before.

Steps:

1. Create a shortcut for the application you want to load/start faster.

- To do that, right click the application > Send To > Desktop (create shortcut).

- Or simply right-click any instance of Windows Explorer > New > Shortcut > enter Directory\AppName into the target field.

2. Right click on that shortcut and select "Properties".

3. On the end of the target path, add "/prefetch:1" (without the quotes). Observe a space between them.

4. Click "Apply" and "OK" or simply click "OK".

Run your application now, and see for yourself. :)

Note:

You may not notice any difference to some stuffs for the following reasons;

- Application's data already included in the prefetch directory.

- Small or light weight application (trick not necessary).

Enjoy! :)
