System process - Lost delayed write data

On a Windows NT system, a message pops up:
(Event ID 26)

Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q163401:

These popup messages may also be accompanied by one or more of the following event log messages:

Event ID: 3013
Description: The redirector has timed out to <Servername>

-or-
Event ID: 8007
Description: NetWare redirector timed out its request to server
<Servername>

CAUSE

By default, when the Windows NT redirector opens a file for read or read/write access, the redirector utilizes the Windows NT system cache. Therefore, when data is written to the file, it is written to the cache and not immediately flushed to the redirector. The cache manager flushes the data at a later time. If an unrecoverable network error occurs while the data is being transferred to the remote server, it may cause the write request to fail and the above application popup to occur.

RESOLUTION

WARNING: This procedure should first be tested in a non-critical environment before being implemented into a production environment. In general, this change will slow down network I/O.

You can disable Network Redirector File Caching by performing the following steps:
