Windows XP operating system memory optimization guide

Although Windows XP is a very good operating system, but its memory requirements are amazing, even if it is 128 megabytes of memory, there will be insufficient system memory The problem is that the speed is slow, why does Windows XP have such a large memory requirement?

Originally, Windows XP has added a lot of new features. These functions are the memory users. We just need to put these Unusually disabled features, then 128 megabytes of memory is more than enough for us. Let's take a look at the memory optimization of these infrequent functions. I believe that after such optimization, your XP will give you a new experience like Mercedes-Benz.

First of all, we have to start with the "automatic update" function of XP. "Automatic update" is a new feature introduced by Windows XP for users to upgrade the system. This function can be used to release system upgrade patches at Microsoft. Or system security patches, automatically remind users to upgrade their systems, but this feature has a requirement, that is, users must be online from time to time, but for those of us who are short of iron and silver, this requirement is not harsh, so We turned off the "automatic upgrade" function and changed it to "manual upgrade".

The specific operation is as follows: Right-click "My Computer", click Properties, click "Automatic Update", and select "Turn off automatic update. I will manually update the computer" in the "Notification Settings" column.

The second step, we have to start with the "system restore" function, the system restore function is a very imaginative idea of ​​Microsoft, but Microsoft has not been able to achieve this idea very well. Therefore, the system restore function that has been made can only make the tasteless taste, and it is a pity that it is a pity. For the user, it didn't make much difference, so we decided to turn it off to save memory.

The specific operation is: right click on "My Computer", click on Properties, the system properties dialog box will pop up, click "System Restore", and tick the "Close System Restore on All Drives" option. .

The third step is to turn off the "Remote Desktop" feature. One feature of this feature is that it allows others to access your desktop on another machine. This feature is useful in LANs. For example, if you have a problem, you can ask a colleague for help. He can access your machine directly through "Remote Desktop" to solve the problem without going to your front. But for ordinary users who only have one computer, this feature is superfluous, so we turn it off and don't let it waste memory there.

The fourth step is to turn off the "automatically send errors" function. Everyone in Window XP definitely has this experience. Once a program terminates abnormally, the system will automatically pop up a dialog box asking if you want to send the error to Microsoft, this is the "automatically send errors" function in XP. What is the use of such a function? Apart from wasting phone bills, it is of no use to us, so we should turn this feature off without hesitation. Right click on "My Computer", click on Properties, click on "Advanced" → "Error Reporting" and select the "Disable Error Reporting" function.

The fifth step is to turn off the unwanted effects in "visual effects". The operating interface of Windows XP is really good. The good-looking behind is the cost of consuming a lot of memory, relative to speed and beauty. In other words, we would rather choose the former, right click on "My Computer", click on Properties, click on "Advanced", in the "Performance" column, click on "Settings", click on "Visual Effects", and put all the specials here. The appearance settings are turned off, and we can save a lot of memory.

The sixth step is to turn off the "Internet Time Synchronization" function. "Internet Time Synchronization" is to synchronize your computer clock with the Internet time server once a week, so that your system time will be accurate. However, this feature is of little use to us and may also cause problems with crashes. So we have to turn it off.

To do this, click Start→ Control Panel→ Date, Time, Language, and Regional Options, and then click Date & Time→ Internet Time.

Step 7: Turn off redundant services. Windows XP and Windows 2000 can be used as http server, mail server, and ftp server. Therefore, whenever Windows XP starts, many services are started. Many services are completely useless to us ordinary users, so turning them off is a good choice.
