Description

Specifies the maximum amount of disk space that can be used for the Windows File Protection file cache.

Windows File Protection adds protected files to the cache until the cache content reaches the quota. If the quota is greater than 50 MB, WFP adds other important Windows 2000 files to the cache until the cache size reaches the quota.

To use this policy, enable the policy, and enter the maximum amount of disk space to be used (in MB). To indicate that the cache size is unlimited, select 4294967295 as the maximum amount of disk space.

If you disable this policy or do not configure it, the default value is set to 50 MB on Windows 2000 Professional and is unlimited (4294967295 MB) on Windows 2000 Server.
