I have used it, and it does help, BUT.... I have systems that look at a
heartbeat.txt file that is recreated every minute, and the create date
does not change properly if the file is just overwritten.

+1, I have seen this tip MANY times on any top 10 performance tweaking
lists. Use it myself too.

I’ve never tried it on a server but I can say for sure that it made a big
difference on a XP box with loads of mp3s.
XP box is an old Dell p3 866 with 450g of storage. IE, my home server.

This is where a test/development server comes in...I've never had cause to
enable something like this myself, but rather than find out the hard way
that some piece of software relies on it, this would be an ideal time to
break out a free copy of VMWare Server and VMWare converter and see exactly
what (if any) impact may ensue...

Thats what I though
The MS KB/Technet info says to make the setting on Windows 2000 if you have
over 70,000 folders in an NTFS volume.
But this guy insists its made his home server, and PC much faster and wants
to do it to his work one.
I am wary, working on the asumption if it made such a huge difference
wouldnt MS have made it a default setting.

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
