One of our "Expert Users" has discovered and article a magazine article regarding speeding up Windows, and it suggested the following
The NTFS File system stores every file access in the form of a last-accesses time stamp. If there are a lot of accesses, a waiting list is constructed in RAM and this can really sap performance to speed up your NTFS partitions do the following 1. go to HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem 2. find or create a DWORD "NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate" and set its value to 1. He claims his PC is now noticeably faster. My question is it safe to do this, and if it makes such a difference is it worth doing on all PC's and possible servers??
