You probably use the NTFS file system (see the properties of your C: partition). You can improve performance by making some changes in the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Filesystem

Change the following registry values, as you wish:

DisableNTFSLastAccessUpdate = 1 (last file access is no longer registered).
NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation = 1 (no more double filenames).
