Is there anyway to preload software so it loads in memory before it's even launched?

I frequently use Windows Live Mail as my desktop e-mail client. But it takes some time to load as I have 3 accounts in there with lots of mail in each.

I always hear of this thing called Superfetch which I think is supposed to prioritise apps so the load quicker. Is there any way to get my Windows Live Mail program to load before I even launch it so when I do open the program it comes up right away without all the hard drive loading fuss?

I really want some way to prioritize this app.

    Have you thought about just starting Windows Live Mail @ startup minimized?

    ·          Click Start Orb > All Programs

    ·          Locate the Windows Live Mail .exe and drag into your Startup Folder

    ·          Navigate into your Startup folder > right-click Windows Live Mail

    ·          Click properties

    ·          Under the Shortcut tab, Locate run: > change dropdown menu to minimized

    Hope this helps
