SUMMARY

The CD-ROM optimization settings are available in the File System Properties dialog box even if there is no CD-ROM drive installed. When you change these settings, Windows 95 prompts you to restart the computer.

If there is no CD-ROM drive installed, the CD-ROM file system driver (CDFS.VXD) does not remain in memory at startup and the CD-ROM optimization settings are not active. Changing these settings on a computer that does not have a CD-ROM drive installed does not affect the performance of Windows 95.

MORE INFORMATION

To modify the CD-ROM optimization settings on a computer that does have a CD-ROM drive installed, follow these steps:
  1. Use the right mouse button to click My Computer, then click Properties on the menu that appears.
  2. Click the Performance tab.
  3. Click the File System button.
