| Action | Registry Key | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Disable creation of short names | NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation | 1 | By default, NTFS generates the style of file name that consists of eight characters, followed by a period and a three-character extension for compatibility with MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows 3. x clients. If you are not supporting these types of clients, you can turn off this setting. |
| Disable last access update. | NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate | 1 | By default NTFS updates the date and time stamp of the last access on directories whenever it traverses the directory. For a large NTFS volume, this update process can slow performance. |
| Reserve appropriate space for the master file table | NtfsMftZoneReservation | 1 to 4 | The system reserves space on the volume for the master file table. Reserving space in this manner allows the master file table to grow optimally: * 1 (the default) for few files that are typically large * 2 or 3 for moderate numbers of files, * 4 (the maximum) for large number of files |
