| | | Disable Last Access Update |
|
Every time a directory or file is accessed on NTFS, it is updated with a time stamp of when it was last accessed. All of these extra writes can cause unnecessary system overhead and hard drive access, esp with large filesystems.
To disable Last Access Updating, Open REGEDIT and navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem
Create a new DWORD called NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate and set the value to 1
You may need to reboot for changes to take effect.
Warning: Modifying Windows system registry or files may cause system instability and or loss of data. Perform these optimizations at your own risk. Im not responsible for loss of data or damage to your system. |
