Should it be disabled as many recommend for Windows XP? Will it speed up
XP? Thanks.
I would definitely not recommend disabling. There are one or two people
- not *many* - recommending that you disable it. especially one who
floods the group with his unsupported diatribe. It is a valuable tool,
and does not take any appreciable time - up to a minute at the most,
once a day in an idle period.
But it *is* to be recommended that if it gives trouble, you disable it,
reboot, have Folder Options - View set to show Hidden files, and *not*
Hide Protected mode ones. Then clear out all its files in System
Volume Information and start over. And when you start it up again,
check the settings for the drive(s) - and probably cut down the space it
is allowed to use. I suggest under 1GB and use 500MB myself
