Last Access Update Stop it from taking up System Resources

Every time a directory on an NTFS drive is accessed by Windows XP, it updates that directory and every subdirectory with a time stamp to indicate the date of access.

In folders with a lot of subdirectories, this can add considerable overhead to whatever your PC happens to be doing.

The bogeyman Registry watch out

Launch REGEDIT

Scroll to :‐

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINES\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem.

Create a new DWORD value called :‐

NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate

set the value to ʹ1ʹ That’s it
