Abstract

An improved user experience at a local client computer that is coupled to one or more remote servers over a WAN is provided by an arrangement in which data and files that are likely to be needed by a user during a work session are identified through the application of one or more heuristics and then pre-fetched to be made available in advance of the session's start. The pre-fetching of the data and files may be performed as the client computer goes through its startup or boot process. When the startup is completed and the desktop applications become ready for use, the data and files that the user needs to immediately begin work are already available at the local client computer.
