WinXP System Space Management Guide

Space is a very important part of a system. With sufficient disk space, it can support the system to run fast. If the disk space is occupied too much and there is only a little leftover space available, you will find the system. The running speed is not generally slow. In order to make the Windows XP system run better, it is very necessary to manage the disk space.

WinXP System Space Management Guide:

First, slimming C disk

1. Previous Windows system communication, all appear in the form of CD, due to the installation of the system I don't know how big the user's hard disk is (the early hard disk space is very small), so Microsoft designed the default state to mix its own files and system files. The disadvantage of this is: once the system disk (usually the C disk) ) Anomalies can't get in, use the image to restore the system, then the own files saved in the C drive will be destroyed together with the system.

2. Know the principle, the user also needs to do their own work to save their own data in a non-C drive (such as: D drive), in case of any eventuality. There are also two cases, one is the original data stored in my documents, my pictures, my videos, favorites, and the other is the software installed by default on the C drive (they are also big) .

3. Of course, in today's network disk, the speed is not a short-board era, it is a wise move to divide your valuable information into the network disk. Not only can you download the driver CD (the CD-ROM drive is easy to break) to the network disk, but also the image of the operating system can be divided into the network disk, not afraid of the system disk error, or even the hard disk damage (also commonplace) ), the information is priceless!

Second, own information

1. Save your own information, this requires users to be a dedicated person, first my documents, my pictures, my videos, favorites and other systems The folder is transferred out of the C drive (such as the D drive). In fact, the Windows system has realized the importance of this problem, so there are settings for the external system folder: right click on my document → attribute → target folder → target folder location → mobile & rarr; just move Out of the system disk (you can locate according to your own storage habits).

Suggestion: It is better to point my document system folder to the whole D drive, because you can enter the D drive directly from the start menu (the mouse can be popped up to pop up the menu).

2. If you use the mouse to close the My Documents system folder on the Start menu, there is no pop-up menu, you can set this:

Right-click Start Menu → Properties →[Start] menu →Custom →Advanced → My Documents & Rarr; Click to display as menu → OK

The advantage of this setting is that you don't need a level 1 point to open the menu, just put the mouse on it, You can go to the end of a dice.

3. However, the problem is coming. In addition to the setting of the mobile option in the Windows XP operating system, my picture (My Pictures), my music (My) System folders such as Music) and My Videos do not have this mobile option.

4. At this time, you can use third-party software to set up, for example, the optimization master setting steps are as follows:

Optimization Master & Rarr; System Optimization & Rarr; System Personality & Rarr; Desktop Settings & Rarr; Multi-set → system folder → check folder → modify (because this change operation is reversible operation, click restore to restore) → specify path → determine

Third, install software < Br>

1. In order not to affect the operation of the system disk, you can also install the additional software on a non-system disk (such as: D disk), the advantage is that the system disk size will not be large, backup system image file The volume will be much smaller and will be much faster to restore.

2. In the process of installing the software, as long as the path is given (some strong software will not let the user customize, can only be installed in the system disk), you can change the C drive to D drive. Yes, the suffix does not move.

3. After installation, there will be a more Program Files system folder on the D drive. After opening, this software is in it. In order to make it clear at a glance, you can quickly identify the software. The icon (the default is the system folder icon) is changed to the icon of the main program: right click on the folder → attribute → custom → change icon → browse → find the main program icon under D: Program Files &rarr ; determine

4. If you are reinstalling the operating system or installing multiple systems, you can open this folder first, find the main program, double click, if you can open normally, right click to send a shortcut to the desktop. This eliminates the need to reinstall the software.

5. Of course, if it is a large-scale software (such as Office, Photoshop, etc.), you may still need to register in the operating system's album, you can take an overlay installation (C changed to D, The suffix does not need to be moved. This can save space and unify the management software.

Fourth, clean the desktop

1. Desktop, is a system folder, a boot operating system will copy the files placed on the desktop, if the desktop always save large files, then This process will be a little longer, which is one of the factors that drag the speed of the computer. Sometimes, the icon for booting the desktop will become the system default icon (it's hard to see), which is why.

2. Need to manage desktop files (especially desktop file exceptions), you can also go directly to the desktop system folder (such as deleting stubborn files in DOS state), their paths are: < Br>

C:Documents and SettingsAdministrator Desktop

C:Documents and SettingsDefault User Desktop

C:Documents and SettingsAll Users Desktop

3. Shortcuts, this is A file format unique to Windows, in order to be convenient and fast to use, it is possible to newly create a shortcut icon in other places without moving the main program, which provides convenience for the user. This method is often widely used on the desktop. One of the biggest differences between the actual file icon and the shortcut icon has a small arrow at the bottom left to show the difference.

4. With this kind of thinking, you can solve the problem of not only using convenience, but also not dragging the boot speed, because the actual file may be very large, for example, some game files can be G, and one The icon for the shortcut is only a few K. Save it on a non-C drive (for example: D drive), right-click to send a shortcut to the desktop, convenient and fast.

The above content from the disk finishing, free data, software installation storage, and system desktop cleaning four aspects in detail for everyone to introduce the system space management skills, users can apply these skills to themselves On top of the XP system, you get the system space in order.
