No option to format USB memory stick as NTFS

I just reformat my memory stick for Data Domain memory upgrade.  Now, I need to re-format it back as NTFS.  When I try to do that, NTFS is not an option under filesystem.  After searching in Google, I find the solution in http://www.ntfs.com/quest22.htm.

Basically, you need to open Device Manager and locate the USB memory stick.  Open up the properties of memory stick and select "Optimize for performance" under policies.  Now, I can format my memory stick with NTFS partition.
