This will prevent the indexer from loading all the music files into the Windows System (Filesystem) Cache. The filesystem cache is meant to hold all the programs for easy access - things such as indexers should deliberately inform Windows that they are doing a special indexing operation and should request files with FILE_FLAG_NO_BUFFERING.
