Computer help please?

I downloaded a stand alone application. I used it once, but after I closed it, I couldn't figure out how to open it again. Doing a search for the filename, I found it in C:/Windows/Prefetch. There are two files. The filenames are doublekiller.exe-OF810532.pf and doublekiller.exe-O61EC163.pf. Can anyone tell me how to open the application? Here's a link to the site I downloaded from http://www.bigbangenterprises.de/en/doublekiller/.

I went to the site and downloaded doublekiller.zip.

Unzipping that file shows doublekiller.exe.

I don't know how you got the .pf files but here is what I would do.

Create a folder called c:\Program Files\Doublekiller
Unzip the doublekiller.zip file into the folder above. You should now have c:\Program Files\Doublekiller\doublekiller.exe

Right click on doublekiller.exe and select create shortcut.
You can cut and paste the shortcut wherever you wish.

Hope that helps.

After seeing what that application does, I can't help but wonder if it "found and removed" itself.

The *.pf files ("prefetch" files), by the way, are a Windows XP performance improvement. The operating system uses these files to store disparate blocks of code that an application uses so that it can be run more efficiently the next time around.

Thanks for the info. Cute kids, by the way.
