myselfidem Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 You can use this reg file:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem]"NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation"=dword:00000001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myselfidem Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) You can add this reg file (given above) inside your Distribution Folder with "cmdlines.txt":cmdlines.txt (example)[Commands]"regedit /s tweaks.reg""regedit /s Services.reg""RunWPI.exe"However, we must take care about Disabling the 8.3 Name Creation on NTFS Partitions:http://support.micro...kb/121007/en-usThe creation of 8.3 filenames and directories for all long filenames and directories on NTFS partitions may decrease directory enumeration performance. NOTE: Although disabling 8.3 name creation increases file performance under Windows NT, some 16-bit applications may not be able to find files and directories with long filenames.NOTE: The change to the NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation registry entry affects only files, folders, and profiles that are created after the change. Files that already exist are not affected.http://www.msfn.org/...t3namecreation/http://www.kenblair....t/perftweak.htmMy advice: Do not Disable the 8.3 Name Creation on NTFS Partitions!
