Stop The 'last access update' Stamp

I found this technique here

Copy this to a registry ('.reg') file and then execute it:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem]
"NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate"=dword:00000001

Add "Open Command Prompt" To Windows Exporer

This will add a menu option to open a command prompt whenever a directory is selected in windows explorer.

Copy this to a registry ('.reg') file and then execute it:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Command]
@="Command &Prompt"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Command\command]
@="%windir%\system32\CMD.EXE \"%1\""

Reset Cd/Dvd Drives To Dma Mode

Copy this to a registry ('.reg') file and then execute it:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E96A-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0002]
"MasterIdDataCheckSum"=-
"SlaveIdDataCheckSum"=-


You might have to change the '0002' to get the correct drive.
Search on this to find a way to improve the situation:
