In [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem]"NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation" Set DWORD=1
"NtfsAllowExtendedCharacterIn8dot3Name" Set DWROD=0
Faster loading of cue/wave files. 8.3 filenames (short filename) is a filename convention used by old versions of DOS. I'm sure we don't need this.

And I can't try it because I use FAT32 for the system drive.

disable Windows checking Fat32 integrity?
I use fastfat.sys instead of ntfs.sys in drivers folder. That's all.
I did not disable "Windows checking Fat32 integrity", I don't know what's this.

Anyone tried these Registry settings
I'd disabled eight-dot-three filenames long ago but I tried your second suggestion earlier today. The effect is to make Explorer (which I use as a music browser) much more responsive when opening folders on my music server: any with large numbers of sub-folders (> 100) could take several seconds to open. It could be slightly irritating.
Why it should speed things up given that "AllowExtendedCharacterIn8dot3Name" merely allows you to use an extended character set when using a feature I don't use, I cannot even guess - but it does. Many thanks.
and what happens with longer file names?
I'm sure you can apply the registry changes without missing a single file file. 8dot3 filenames are those used by old versions of MS DOS. It's there so that NTFS is backward compatible with legacy products. I put it wrong in my post, causing misunderstanding.
I tried and indeed cmp opens files quicker. And when you are listening to one track and you scroll fwd a bit, it does it much quicker. So in that regard a nice benefit.
What surprised me though was the sq pop. Everything got stronger, you can hear more into the music (inner detail improvement). Seems a bit louder. Clearer all around ... at least in my system. Maybe not as good as a skinnied down shell32 but sq moves in that type of direction.
A nice unexpected one Jack!
I will when I get home. Have you tried it? If so what was your reaction?
In normal Windows, folders with large numbers of files opened much faster, including individual folders. The same for CMP mode, faster loading of cue and wave files.
