In standard setting, everytime Windows XP read a file, it will create a timestamp on the file. This feature is useful for backup needs, but actually the backup just need the last access date. This feature makes Windows XP works harder because everytime Windows read a file, it must write the timestamp too.
For a normal usage, this feature isn’t important. For a faster Windows XP, I recommend you to turn off this feature by the following steps :
1. Click Start
2. Choose Programs
3. Choose Accesories
4. Choose Command Prompt
5. Type down a command : FSUTIL behavior set disablelastaccess 1
6. Press Enter
7. Restart your computer
