Looping Windows Directories To Speed Up Your Blitz Programs. If you know how to do this then help is wanted!!!

What does looping mean in this context?

Do you mean recursively reading up files (maybe of a certain filetype) to force windows to place them in file-cache?

Instead of directory paths, a driver is edited and the directories are looped back to the root. Example- C:system32\calc.exe instead of C:\Windows\system32\calc.exe
1 Issue Is - every directory has to have a unique name.
2 Issue Is - if a directory has a ununique name, you get a blue screen.
1 Solution Is - Add a Windows Service That Checks For Invalid Directories
2 Solution Is - Change an invalid Directory Name.

Seriously Luke111, do you actually know what you're going on about?

Why would you want to do this?

Why would you want C:system32\calc.exe instead of C:\Windows\system32\calc.exe?

Are you trolling this site?
