Don't be fooled by xp. It may not be easy to use in Vista.

I did not take the initiative to read newspapers and magazines related to computer applications for a long time. I ran into the magazine Computer lovers, which I was familiar with yesterday, you can see an article named "erase the file timestamp after the file modification time"Article.

According to the Article (p33), you can enter the Registry branch: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System
/CurrentControlSet/control/filesystem, and then change the "ntfsdisablelastaccessupdate" key value (if this value is not required) to "1" in the right window ", in this way, the system will no longer record the file modification time.

Is that true?

I expanded the above branch in Windows Vista. The default registry value is "1" (1 ), the current system faithfully records every time I modify files. As a result, I have a question: is it a mistake for computer lovers?



Figure 1 default value of ntfsdisablelastaccessupdate is 1

To verify the authenticity of this technique, the author modifies "D:/topic/software topic. TXT content (2, 3), whether it is to set the value of "ntfsdisablelastaccessupdate" to "1" or "0", or simply delete the entire key value, the system still records the time when the user modified the file.


Figure 2 before modifying the Registry


Figure 3 modify the Registry

As shown in figure 2 and Figure 3, whether or not the registry is modified, the system records the time when the user modified the file. However, it should be noted that the original article may be in the windos xp system, not the Windows vsita system. Therefore, I would like to remind you not to think that many of the skills in Windows XP can be applied to Windows Vista.
