Keeping support available for old 16-bit applications that use the 8.3 filename format can degrade performance of your Windows Vista system. Here’s how to disable it.
Disable 8.3 filename support for the future
1. Click the Start orb and type REGEDIT
in the Start Search area.
2. Open the Registry Editor.
3. Click the plus sign next to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
then SYSTEM
then CurrentControlSet
then Control
then click FileSystem
4. On the right side, double-click on NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation and give it a value of 1. Click OK.
5. Close the Registry Editor.
Disable 8.3 filename support for current files
1. Press SHIFT+F10 to open a Command Prompt.
2. Type:
fsutil.exe behavior set disable8dot3 1
and press ENTER.
When you restart your computer, the old 16-bit 8.3 filenames will no longer be supported and your Windows Vista system will run faster.
