Eight application skills of Windows Vista system

Windows Vista may not be used by many people, but users have begun to sort out the application skills of Windows Vista. Now let's talk about their experience.

Disable Vista's sleep function


Vista's sleep takes up the same size of physical memory as the physical memory. It is too wasteful. If the system disk space is tight, consider it. Disable hibernation.

Disable the method as follows: Press Win+R to open the “Run” window, enter “powercfg -h off”, press Enter (provided UAP is disabled).

Disable Vista's UAP


UAP is the User Account Protection -! User account protection, the default login account, although the case is administrator level, but running most of the System operations need to be asked if they are executed. 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!

Disable the method as follows: press Win+R to open the "Run" window, enter "Regedit" to run the registry, and then HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE \\ The value of EnableLUA under Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\PoliciesSystem should be 0.

Vista achieve automatic landing


have to enter a password each time the boot is not too much trouble? If you do not want to automatically log in the registry by modifying the method, try The following method:

Press Win+R to open the "Run" window, enter "Rundll32 netplwiz.dll, UsersRunDll" command to open the user account window (note the case sensitivity), select the default login user name, then Remove the checkmark in the "To use this machine, the user must enter the user name and password" check box, and then press "Shift+Ctrl+A", enter the user password in the pop-up window, save and exit (provided UAP is disabled) .

to modify the virtual memory location


Vista virtual memory is also large disk space occupied by the system, you can also set about reducing the burden to 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.

shut down unneeded services


Because Vista is a completely new system, many services are not very understanding, so if you are not running more cards, best not to close 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 (Best with BT) Do not close)

10.WinHTTP Web

11.Error Reporting Service

12.Tablet PC Input Service

Speed ​​up window pop-up < Br>

Windows Vista uses animated effects when opening windows. For users with smaller memory, it will affect the speed of opening the window. 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, and find the MinAniMate key in the right window. Turn the value from 1 to 0 to turn off the animation display.

Shortening 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 have the system default time. When it stops running, the system will force a 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 “WaitToKillServiceTimeout” in the right window. "Key value, change the value by default from 20000 to 5000 or lower.

Open the real Administrator account


To be honest, the administrator rights of the account that is logged in by default is still quite different from 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 is as follows:


1. press the F8 boot into Safe Mode, use the Administrator user login Vista (very strange, in 5384 under the Simplified Chinese version, Administrator landing even without a password, but can not set a password, do not know BUG);

2. press Win + R key to open the "run" window, type "regedit", open the registry;

3. Go to HKLM\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\Winlogon;

4. Add a new key (key) with the name SpecialAccounts;

5. In SpecialAccounts Create a subkey in the name UserList;

6. After you finish, check the location is correct: HKLM\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\Winlogon\\SpecialAccounts\\UserList;

7. In the UserList key, create a DWORD (32 bit) with the name Administrator and a key value of 1;

8. Enter "net user Administrator /Active:yes" at the command line;

9. Log out or restart, you can use the Administrator account.

PS: the previous method (for reference)


Many people think that Vista's UAC feature was very unhappy, and do not consider security issues, then it would 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 "Command Prompt" and select "Run as Administrator";

4. Click "Allow" in the prompt dialog (if any);

5. Enter the command line window, type "regedit", press Enter;

6. Enter HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionWinlogon;

7. Add a new key (key) with the name SpecialAccounts;

8. Create a subkey in SpecialAccounts with the name UserList;

9. Check if the location is correct: HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionWinlogonSpecialAccountsUserList;

10. In the UserList key, create DWORD (32 bit), the name is Administrator, the key value is 1;

11. Enter "net user Administrator /Active:yes" on 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.
