WinXP optimization skills: shut down the useless interface device

WinXP system due to its many advantages, even if Microsoft has stopped serving, there are still many users to use it, many low-profile computers are WinXP as the preferred installation system, but many The user is still not satisfied and wants to configure it for optimal performance, and turning off redundant interface devices has become a key goal.

WinXP has many interfaces, compatible with various external interfaces, and its own driver including standard interfaces such as USB1.1, IEEE1394 and PCMCIA is one of its advantages. However, there are also many interfaces that are useless. For example, the Ethernet interface is used the most, and the infrared interface is rarely tested. As for the PCMCIA interface and the 1394 interface, it is never used.
What we call "interface" is the essence of a device. In order for these devices to work in the operating system, you first need to load the drivers, take up system resources, and secondly consume power. But if you don't need it, isn't it costless? For a PC, it takes a little bit of power to make a few interfaces, but for a notebook, it saves you money.
To close a device that will not be used for a while, it is most convenient to operate in the device manager. Here we can "disable" and use the parallel port, serial port, floppy disk interface and 1394, infrared. Interface and more. Just a little bit, we can shield the sound card when we don't listen to the song —— this is not too much, the notebook configuration is AC`97“soft”sound card that needs CPU service, its resource occupancy rate when sounding Not too small.
Implement the shutdown of some devices as described above, and make adjustments in the BIOS to be more thorough; but through the device manager to operate, one is simple and convenient when it is closed, and the two are more convenient when it needs to be re-enabled. Even restarting WinXP is free.
Closing some unnecessary system services is also a common method of squeezing the last system performance. Some services are directly connected to the interface device, such as the Infrared Monitor and Smart Card services used to display the infrared connection status. The former is used to display the status of the infrared device connection, and the latter is used to manage the smart card, so that some services actually do not have much practical effect. We set the startup property to “Manual” to save system resources.
In addition, Messenger, RPC, Remote Registry, which are of little use, but most vulnerable to attack, are also set as early as "manual" mode.
There are some interfaces that do not have much practical effect on WinXP, which not only saves system resources, but also completely changes the running speed of WinXP. It is a big benefit for many users of laptops. If you think this article The tutorial is easy to use and welcome to share with more friends.
