Win2k Tweak
This is a discussion about Win2k Tweak in the Customization Tweaking category; Just thought I'd share a couple of quick win2k tweaks that i have been using. They have really made a noticible differnce in the speed of my machine. Windows Registry Editor Version 5. 00 NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation=dword:00000001 NtfsEncryptionService=Efs Win31FileSystem=dword:00000000 Win95TruncatedExtensions=dw ...
Just thought I'd share a couple of quick win2k tweaks that i have been using. They have really made a noticible differnce in the speed of my machine.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem]
"NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation"=dword:00000001
"NtfsEncryptionService"="Efs"
"Win31FileSystem"=dword:00000000
"Win95TruncatedExtensions"=dword:00000001
"NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate"=dword:00000001
"NtfsAllowExtendedCharacterIn8dot3Name"=dword:00000000
"ReadAheadThreshold"=hex:00,00,20,00
"DriveWriteBehind"=hex:ff,ff,ff,ff
"NameCache"=hex:ff,ff,00,00
"PathCache"=hex:ff,00,00,00
"ContigFileAllocSize"=dword:00000400
"AsyncFileCommit"=dword:00000001
The path and name cache are holdovers from win95 days but still seem to work well. Unfortunatle I don't know who to thank for the read ahead and write behind entries. The rest i gather from reading microsofts site.
Anyway I hope this helps someone......later....
