  3. In the Parameter Groups drop-down list, select Performance, Cache.

  4. In the list of options, select File Caching, then set its value to On.

  5. In the list of options, select File Caching on exclusively opened files, then set its value to Off.

  6. Select OK to save and apply the settings.
