        First off, I would upgrade (free upgrade) the machines running 7.5.3 to
the last of the 7.5's, System 7.5.5... Same for any 7.6 machines to 7.6.1.
Also, update to the latest Chooser Extensions for the given version...

        Traverse checking on the NT server...

        Add the following:
NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate REG_DWORD=1
        to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem\

        Cheers!
