Policy CSP - ADMX_FileSys
Tip
This CSP contains ADMX-backed policies which require a special SyncML format to enable or disable. You must specify the data type in the SyncML as <Format>chr</Format>. For details, see Understanding ADMX-backed policies.
The payload of the SyncML must be XML-encoded; for this XML encoding, there are a variety of online encoders that you can use. To avoid encoding the payload, you can use CDATA if your MDM supports it. For more information, see CDATA Sections.

./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/ADMX_FileSys/DisableDeleteNotification
Delete notification is a feature that notifies the underlying storage device of clusters that are freed due to a file delete operation.
A value of 0, the default, will enable delete notifications for all volumes.
A value of 1 will disable delete notifications for all volumes.

./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/ADMX_FileSys/ShortNameCreationSettings
These settings provide control over whether or not short names are generated during file creation. Some applications require short names for compatibility, but short names have a negative performance impact on the system.
If you enable short names on all volumes then short names will always be generated. If you disable them on all volumes then they will never be generated. If you set short name creation to be configurable on a per volume basis then an on-disk flag will determine whether or not short names are created on a given volume. If you disable short name creation on all data volumes then short names will only be generated for files created on the system volume.
