fsutil

A Microsoft utility that lets you do several things to tweak the way the NTFS (New Technology File System) file system works:

increase or decrease the size of the MFT (Master File Table).
Turn on or off last-access date maintaining on files. Off gives higher performance. On lets you track when files were last read. This can be useful if you sort by last access date during defragging.
Turn on or off support for 8.3 short filenames. Turning it off would shrink the directories. You would have to experiment to see if it improved or hurt performance and if any programs would stop working.
Whether you allow extended characters in the 8.3 names.

You must reboot to see the changes. Common usages include:
