Improve system performance by disabling last access/update feature
NTFS file system in XP maintains last access/update details for each file and directory. This information is useful sometimes but for an average user this may not be of much use most of the times. Doing this takes considerable resources and as such it may make sense to disable it. Even after disabling it you still have access to last modified info which would still be available. To disable last access update feature, do as follows:
Navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem] and look for the data key "NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate" and set its value to 1
