Mozy Option – Disable Icon Overlays to Speed Up Your Computer


Have you installed Mozy and your computer seems to slow to a crawl when Mozy starts to do a backup? Here is a tip that has worked for some people to bring their computer back to life and let Mozy continue backing up your data.

Open the Mozy configuration menu and select the Options tab.

Look for the “Disable icon overlays in Windows Explorer”.

If this option is on, then deselect it and save your new configuration.

This new configuration can help to speed up your computer, but you will no longer be able to see in the file explorer if Mozy has backed up a file. A small price to pay to have your files backed up and have a more responsive computer.
