Change the XP system configuration to make the system run faster (1)

Basic Thoughts:

1. Reduce Disk Space Usage
2. Terminate Unused System Services
3. Security Issues
4. Other Tips

First ask, are you really want to activate XP, no. . . Accurately say that you want to be able to upgrade on the ms station. If the answer is yes, then let's first discuss the installation problem. I am still recommending the popular V4, V5, V6 versions, especially V5 and V6. There is a serial number problem during the installation process. I suggest that you first calculate it on the machine and then use this serial number to install it. Usually the XP installed in this way can be freely updated to the MS site.

If you have already installed XP, but the serial number used is the ones that are used everywhere, it doesn't matter, we will later say that the serial number will be solved when re-encapsulating with sysrep. Replacement problem.

I assume that you have already installed XP.

First, slimming action

1, after the installation of various software and hardware, in fact, XP needs to update the file when there are very few. Delete the system backup file: Start → Run → sfc.exe /purgecache Near 3xxM.

2, delete the driver backup: %windows%driver driver.cab file under the cachei386 directory, usually this file is 76M.

3, I did not see the habit of help, so keeping the contents of the %windows%help directory is a kind of harm to me, huh, huh. . . Both are dry, nearly 4xM.

4, after the upgrade is complete, you will find that %windows% has a lot of similar directories like $NtUninstallQ311889$, all kill it, 1x-3xM.

5, just in the hard disk there are win2000/server, etc., so by the way the pagefile.sys file points to a place: Control Panel → System → Performance - Advanced → Virtual Memory → Change, pay attention to the "Settings" Will take effect.

6, uninstall the uncommon components: use notepad to modify %windows%infsysoc.inf, use the find /replace function, enter in the search box, hide, all replaced with empty. In this way, all the hides are removed. After saving and exiting the "Add-Remove Programs", you will see a lot of options in "Add/Remove Windows Components"; delete the game, the code table, etc. What you don't need.

7, delete the input method that is not used under windowsime, 8xM. I reinstalled my own zrm input method, hehe.

8, if the real space is tight, enable NTFS compression, this will use 2x% less space, but I did not.

9, closed the system restore, this broken function for me often download, test software for people who are simply a disaster, use the mouse right click on the desktop "My Computer", select "Properties ", find "system restore", select "turn off system restore on all drives" Oh, you can save space.

10, there are several documents, quite big, and it is useless. . . . Forgot the name: (, just installed system can use the search function to find files larger than 50M to see, should be able to find.

If you can follow the above process, your original 1.4G XP can be reduced to less than 800.
