tsk Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 in OS Options. I wonder whether to remove it or not.Description only mentions "antivirus and other apps"? Any specific examples which app depend on it and what gets broken if FSFM is not installed and running? Also, which file(s) are behind it (names)? I'd check if they are running at all on my system now (I guess it's some .sys or .dll).Do you have any good/bad experiences with removing it?TIA!

Camarade_Tux Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 (edited) File System Manager are something new in windows.They appeared with a patch for XP SP1 and are in SP2.Nothing uses them at the moment.But imho this is something that should not be removed (except for kiosks maybe) : it would be just like removing WPA2, PCI-E, SATA, PPPoE, DVD and stick to WEP, PCI, PATA, Dial-Up, CD.ATM if a driver is buggy, as it *necessarily* runs in system space (just like windows itself), whenever it bugs, the whole system freezes. Moreover, there also are several other avantages on the performance side and ease-of-developpment.clicky at M$ Edited November 10, 2006 by Camarade_Tux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
