For those of you who use the NTFS file system you can significantly boost your disk access speed in Windows Explorer with a simple registry tweak. <BR><BR>Go to Start -> Run and type REGEDIT. When you're there scroll to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> System-> CurrentControlSet-> Control-> fileSystem. Once you're inside that folder create a new DWORD Value NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate and modify the value to 1. <BR><BR>What this does is tell Windows not to update the Time Stamp on the folders of your HDD. That should boost your overall file speed. <BR>
