Windows Vista may not be used by many people, but users have begun to sort out Windows Vista application skills, and now they talk about their experience.
Disabling Vista's Hibernation Function
Vista's hibernation takes up the same amount of space as the physical memory of the system disk. It is too wasteful. If the system disk space is tight, you can consider disabling hibernation.
The method of disabling is as follows: Press Win+R to open the “Run” window, enter “powercfg -h off” and press Enter (provided UAP is disabled).
Disabling Vista's UAP!
UAP is User Account Protection - User Account Protection. By default, the account that is logged in is the administrator level, but most of the system operations need to be asked whether to execute. What is the use of disabling UAP? In fact, many programs can not be installed properly or can not run normally with UAP, such as the extreme five pens can not run under IE7, PhotoshopCS2 can not be activated and run, Kmplayer runtime pops up error window, etc., the most important Yes, if UAP is enabled under the default login account, the system and many application settings cannot be saved. Therefore, disabling UAP is the first thing to do after installing the system!
The disabling method is as follows: Press Win+R to open the "Run" window, enter "Regedit" to run the registry, and then HKEY_LOCAL_MacHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows The value of EnableLUA under \\CurrentVersion\\PolicIEsSystem should be 0.
Implement Vista automatic login
It is very troublesome to enter the password every time you boot. If you don't want to modify the registry to achieve automatic login, try the following methods:
Press Win+R Open the "Run" window, enter the "Rundll32 netplwiz.dll, UsersRunDll" command to open the user account window (note the case sensitivity), select the default login user name, and then remove the "to use the machine, the user must enter the user name password" Select the checkmark in the box, and then press "Shift+Ctrl+A" to enter the user password in the pop-up window, save and exit (provided UAP is disabled).
Modify the location of virtual memory
Vista's virtual memory is also a large user of the system disk space, set up can also reduce the burden on the system. The method is similar to that under WinXP. The specific method is as follows: Right-click "computer", select "Properties", click "Advanced System Settings", select "Advanced" tab in the "System Properties" window, click "Settings" in the "Performance" area, and then in "Performance" "Options" window select "Advanced" tab (here, you can also set the visual effect, the same way as WinXP), click "Change" in the "virtual inner" area, in the "virtual memory" window, put "automatically manage all The paging file size of the drive" checkbox in front of the radio button, select the system disk, set the initial size and maximum value of the virtual memory to 0, then select the partition where you want to place the virtual memory, and enter the initial value (usually physical memory). 1.5 times) and the maximum value (usually 3 times the physical memory), click "OK" to save the settings. Turn off unwanted services
Since Vista is a brand new system, many services are not well understood, so if you are not running a comparison card, it is best not to turn off the service. The following are some of the services that I tried to shut down (all set to manual, not set to disable), for reference only (provided UAP is disabled).
1.Base Firewall Engine
2.IPSEC Services
3.mpssvc
4.IP
5.Network Access Protection Agent
6.Software Licensing Service
7.Security Center
8.System Restore Service
9.UPnP Device Host (Do not close with BT)
10.WinHTTP Web
11.Error Reporting Service
12.Tablet PC Input Service
Speed up window pop-ups
Windows Vista uses animation effects when opening windows. For users with smaller memory, it will affect the speed of opening windows. The improvement method is to turn off the animation effect.
The method is as follows: press Win+R to open the "Run" window, enter "Regedit" to run the registry, find the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Control PanelDesktop\\Window Metrics" branch, find the MinAniMate key in the right window, and put it The value is changed from 1 to 0 to turn off the animation display.
Shorten the shutdown waiting time
After Vista executes the shutdown command, it will shut down the services that are still running in the computer. If a program does not stop running within the system default time, the system will force the stop operation. If you feel that it is too time consuming, you may be able to achieve shutdown acceleration by modifying the registry.
The method is as follows: press Win+R to open the “Run” window, enter “Regedit” to run the registry, find the “HKEY_LOCAL_MacHINE\\System\\Current ControlSet\\Control” branch, and find the “WaitToKillServiceTimeout” key in the right window. , change the value by default from 20000 to 5000 or lower.
Open the real Administrator account
To be honest, the administrator privileges of the account that is logged in by default are still quite different from those of the Administrator. If you don't want to disable UAP, use Administrator directly to get the highest privilege, just open the Administrator account. However, opening the Administrator will bring security risks to the system! Before the current anti-virus software is not available, I personally think it is more appropriate to disable UAP with the default account.
Open the Administrator account as follows:
1. Press F8 to enter safe mode, use Administrator to log in to Vista (very strange, in 5384 Simplified Chinese version, Administrator login does not require a password, and can not set a password, I don't know if it is BUG);
2. Press Win+R to open the “Run” window, enter “regedit” to open the registry;
3. Go to HKLM\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\Winlogon ;
4. Add a new key (key) with the name SpecialAccounts;
5. Create a subkey in SpecialAccounts with the name UserList;
6. Check if the location is correct: HKLM\\ Software\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\Winlogon\\SpecialAccounts\\UserList;
7. In the UserList key, create DWord (32 bit) with the name Administrator and the key value is 1;
8. On the command line Enter "net user Administrator /Active:yes";
9. Log out or restart and you can use the Administrator account.
Attachment: Previous method (for reference)
Many people think that Vista's UAC function is very uncomfortable. If you don't consider security issues, open the Administrator account.
The method is as follows:
1. Log in to Vist using the account created during installation;
2. Start menu, find "All Programs", "AccessorIEs";
3. Right click on "Command Prompt" Select "Run as Administrator";
4. Click "Allow" in the prompt dialog (if any);
5. Enter the command line window, type "regedit", press Enter;
6. Go to HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionWinlogon;
7. Add a new key (key) with the name SpecialAccounts;
8. Create a subkey in SpecialAccounts with the name UserList;
9. Check the location when you are done. Right? HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionWinlogonSpecialAccountsUserList;
10. In the UserList key, create DWord (32 bit) with the name Administrator and the key value is 1;
11. Enter "net user Administrator /Active:yes at the command line. ";
12. Log out or restart, you can use the Administrator account.
For users joining the domain, as long as the administrator account is enabled, you can use the switch user login.
