FM9 - Fm files have disappeared from disk

[grant at hedgewizard.net]

I have run into this when working remotely with Win 7 (and possibly  Win8). I
 found the problem to be intermittent, and the only commonality to the failures
I had was that they both occurred on book regeneration (which is
file-transaction intensive).  I followed the guidance in
 <http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff686200.aspx>  .

I had to manually create the Windows registry entries   DirectoryCacheLifetime
and   FileNotFoundCacheLifetime and set them to   0 (zero).
I have not had problems since, but have also been very cautious as to how I have
regenerated FM books.
