Windows2000 comprehensive optimization (a)

Delete unnecessary documents + empty recycle bin

If you have just formatted the hard drive and installed Windows 2000 users, then this step is not too big for you. Necessary, because there are almost no junk files in your system at this time. But if you check, there will still be some unwanted files in C:WINNT (this article assumes that you have Windows 2000 installed on the C drive), such as *.tmp, *.bak, *.log, *.old, *. Txt is even a *.bmp file as a desktop background, you can safely delete it. *.txt files are generally some help files - it is estimated that you won't see what they write until you upgrade to the next-generation operating system, at least I haven't thought about it during my nearly two or two years of Windows 98. thing. The *.bak file is a backup file for some programs, and deletion usually has nothing to do with it. Delete these files into the recycle bin, then right click on the recycle bin and click on the empty recycle bin (you can also delete the selected file directly by holding down the Shift key while deleting the file).

Also go to the C:WINNT emp folder to see if there are some files, if you can rest assured to delete. The installation of the general program uses this directory as a temporary folder. Normally, the temporary file generated will be automatically cleared after the installation is completed, but if there is an accident in the process of installing the software or this is a poor installation program, it is likely Will leave some files in this directory.

Some shortcuts on the Start menu also take up some space - you can delete unnecessary shortcut icons that are duplicated with the desktop and Quick Launch bar, which also saves some space. To delete this you can open the taskbar and start menu manager from the "Start /Settings /Taskbar and Start Menu", click on "Advanced Tab", clear the files you need to clear.

Recycle Bin Settings

If you can be sure that the file you want to delete must be correct, make sure you don't make a mistake, then right click on the recycle bin icon and click on "Properties". Remove the checkmark before the "Display Confirmation Dialog", so that when you delete the file, the confirmation dialog will not appear, and the file will be placed directly in the recycle bin - which will slightly improve your work efficiency.

Startup and Recovery Options

Right-click on My Computer and select Properties Advanced Boot and Recovery

If multiple operating systems are installed, then you can change them by The time to display the list of operating systems is to determine the length of time that this list is displayed - if you have only one operating system then remove the checkmark before the selection. Under the heading "System Failure", remove the checkmarks before the two options "Write event to system log" and "Send management alert" - provided that you are not a network administrator.

Browser History + Cache

Clearing your browser's history and cache can also save disk space, but note that this will slow down the sites you've visited. Therefore, it is not recommended for friends who often go to fixed sites.

The history of the site you have visited has been recorded in the history of the browser. You can clear the history by clicking on "Tools/Internet Options/General/Clear History" in the browser.

The cache stores the files of the sites you have visited, including HTML files, image files and even SWF animation files - when you click offline browsing, you can also read them easily - this also It's an effective way to save money on the network, and the next time you visit the same site and page, you don't have to re-download it. These files that can be browsed offline exist in the space specified on the hard disk. If you want to delete these files, you can clear them by clicking "Tools/Internet Options/General/Internet Temporary Files/Delete Files" in the browser.

Disk Troubleshooting and Defragmentation

I think most of us know that the regular use of disk scan (ScanDisk) and defragmentation (Disk Defragmenter) to maintain system efficiency It is a good way. Regularly referred to here is at least once a week. Disk troubleshooting is mainly to scan file system errors and bad clusters on the hard drive to ensure system security, and defragmentation allows the system and software to run more efficiently.

When running the disk check error, please close the running program, open "My Computer", right click on the hard drive you want to organize, select "Properties /Tools", in the error column Click the "Start Check" button

Please confirm that "Automatically fix file system error" and "Scan and attempt to recover bad sectors" are selected before performing disk check. This process varies depending on your drive capacity, hard drive speed, and system processing power.

Then you can defragment your disk. Defragmentation is simply sorted according to the frequency of use of the program, and try to avoid the cross-storing of data between different programs - to improve the performance of the system by reducing the time the system queries the data.

Before running defragmentation, please close all running programs, especially screen saver, scheduled tasks, real-time anti-virus software, etc., which may cause the disk to store data changes, and then open "My Computer". Right click on the hard drive you want to organize, select "Properties /Tools", select "Start Finishing" in "Defragmentation"

You can click the "Analyze" button to let the system analyze the basic situation of your hard disk, then Tell your hard drive if you need to sort it out. If you need to sort it out, then just click the "defragmentation" button. The timing of the sorting depends on how many clusters you have in this hard disk partition - you have to admit that the process is quite boring and boring. It's slow, so you can find software with similar functions, such as the Norton Toolbox, which has defragmentation components, and other programs like Diskeeper, Vopt, etc. (but the effect of the defragmentation software that comes with Windows still has Gap), and fast.
