    • -u: Unattended mode
    • -f: Forces other programs to quit when the computer shuts down
    • -n: Do not back up files for removal

After you install this hotfix, a new registry key is created. This registry key has the following properties:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MRXSmb\Parameters
Value Name: NoDeleteOnClose
Value Type: REG_DWORD
Value Data: 0 or 1
Default Value: 0
The default value for NoDeleteOnClose is 0, and this value takes effect only when the OplocksDisabled DWORD value is set to 1 in the same registry key. The behavior of this update depends on the value of the NoDeleteOnClose DWORD value, and the value of the OplocksDisabled DWORD value, as follows:
  • OplocksDisabled value is set to 0 (recommended). This hotfix resolves the problems deleting files that are described in the "Symptoms" section of this article, but you may continue to experience the intermittent redraw problems in Windows Explorer that are described in the "Symptoms" section of this article.
  • NoDeleteOnClose is set to 1, and OplocksDisabled is set to 1. This hotfix resolves the redraw problem that is described in the "Symptoms" section of this article, but you may experience intermittent problems deleting files in Windows Explorer only (even when the file is not already open) that are described in the "Symptoms" section of this article.
