Faster NTFS file System:

NTFS system is considered as a faster one over FAT ...we may improve the performance of

NTFS by a registry change:

follow the steps
1.In run command type REGEDIT
now u get the registry editor window
2.Expand the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
3.Navigate to the Key:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Filesystem
4.Change the following registry values, as you wish:
DisableNTFSLastAccessUpdate = 1 (last file access is no longer registered).

NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation = 1 (no more double filenames: long names and the old 8.3

variant (the 8.3 file notation is used for the older Windows versions).
NtfsMftZoneReservation = 2 (if there are many files on a partition, the master file table

(MFT) can get fragmented, with this tweak there will be no more fragmenting of the file

master file table (default value = 1, range 1-4).
