Uhmm , it look dangerous. Windows itself or other software could use this 
information during some checks or updates

A: NT System Admin Issues
Oggetto: NTFSDisableLastAccessUpdate regkey


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??

TIA

Graeme
