Disable 8.3 Name Creation (NTFS)
This tweak stops the NTFS volume from generating MS-DOS compatible 8.3 file names. Disabling this feature can increase the performance on heavily used NTFS partitions that have large amount of files with long filenames.
Open up the registry editor and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem. Create a new DWORD value named NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation. Set it to 1.
