SO I have upgraded my laptops hard drive to an Sandisk SSD an trim is set to on but after checking the prefetch folder it has created files but I was told that windows 7 disables prefetch on SSD,s ?

Windows 7 doesn't always do what it is supposed to do. Read through this Tutorial on SSDs, there is a lot of good advice there for you.

You are correct there, Pre Fetch & Super Fetch should be turned off, as should Disc Defragmenting. Windows usually turns off Defrag but it's a good idea to check to be sure.
