Party A: My operating system is Windows XP. When I first started using it, I feel that the startup speed is very fast. The progress bar in the startup screen can enter the system desktop by just a few turns. However, after using Windows XP for a while, you will see that the number of rotations of the progress bar in the splash screen has increased, and the time to enter the desktop has become longer. I don't plan to let time be wasted, can I ask if there is any trick to improve the startup speed of Windows XP?
B: on ways to improve the startup speed of Windows XP, I have read in forums related to
Tutorial
. The method is to enter the Windows XP operating system, open the "Control Panel" window, double-click the "System" component, click the "Advanced" tab in the "System Properties" dialog box that opens, in the "Startup and Recovery" interface Click the "Settings" button, click the "Edit" button on the "System Startup" area of the open page, and then open a file named "boot.ini" in the Notepad program, you can see that there is [Operating systems], the parameter "fastdetect" in "multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\\WINDOWS= "Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect" in this paragraph is modified. Just "nodetect".
In addition to the above-mentioned method is said to accelerate the use of Microsoft tools --Bootvis can improve the startup speed of Windows XP.
Party C: The test showed that the two methods is not feasible at all. The first method is to modify a parameter in the Boot.ini multi-boot file, and the parameter named "nodetect" does not exist at all. The original "fastdetect" parameter is just to let the system not check the serial port and the parallel port at startup, thus prompting the startup speed.
The second method is to use Microsoft tools to accelerate Bootvis, in fact, this tool is mainly to boot the system visualization performance tracking, developers can track problems on system startup or wake up with this tool, for The system's start-up speed did not help at all. At present, Microsoft officials have clarified the rumor that "using Bootvis can speed up system startup."
To improve the startup speed of Windows XP, we can be addressed to the following aspects.
1. Start the project of the custom system
Open the "Start → Run" command in the system, type "Msconfig" in the "Run" dialog box, click the "OK" button to enter the "System Configuration Utility" Dialog box. Select the "Startup" tab and carefully check whether each item in it needs to be loaded automatically. For the unneeded items, clear the check box before the item. Since the number of items loaded at startup is reduced, the startup speed is faster.
2. Reduced disk scanning time
Windows XP if not shut down properly, the system will automatically perform disk scanning program when you start again. It will take 10 seconds to wait before starting the scan. At this point, you can open the "Start → Run" dialog box and type "CMD", click the "OK" button to enter the Windows XP command prompt mode. Enter "CHKNTFS /T:x" at the command prompt (the input does not contain quotes, x is the wait time), for example, enter "CHKNTFS /T:0", it means no waiting time; enter "CHKNTFS /T: 3" means the waiting time is 3 seconds.
3. Reducing waiting time operating system
if the installation of multiple operating systems, multiple operating system boot menu so will find the default wait time is 30 seconds. We can enter the "System Properties" dialog box as described at the beginning of the article, click the "Advanced" tab, click the "Settings" button in the "Startup and Recovery" area, and select the "Display Action" in the Settings page. Check the box in front of the "System list time" and "Show recovery options when needed" option, and then enter the corresponding time into the corresponding values to reduce the waiting time, click the "OK" button.
4. Add a fixed IP address to the NIC
Since the system searches for a DHCP server on the network, you can right-click on "Network Neighborhood" and double-click "Local Area Connection" in the "Network Connection" dialog box that opens. Icon, click the "Properties" button in the properties dialog box, double-click the TCP /IP protocol in the page, so you can manually add a fixed IP address to the network card.
In addition to these four methods, we can also be in the registry to start the project settings, turn off unnecessary system services, in addition I usually use the Disk Cleanup tool, Disk Defragmenter can also be in a Programmatically increase system startup speed.
