SUMMARY
=======
Windows for Workgroups version 3.11 caches disk writes by default when the
32-bit file system is enabled. This includes MS-DOS DoubleSpace 6.2 volumes;
however, it does not include third-party disk-compression systems.
MORE INFORMATION
================
To disable write caching with the 32-bit file system, add the following line to
the [386Enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file:
ForceLazyOff=<drivelist>
where <drivelist> is the list of drives in which you want to disable write
caching. (Do not use any delimiters or spaces.) For example, the line
ForceLazyOff=CDF
would disable write caching on drives C, D, and F.
For more information about the 32-bit file system, query on the following words
