Friends who use old machines and laptops, I am afraid it is difficult to tolerate the system startup process that is slow and mad. Even after trying all kinds of optimization cheats and using all the optimization software, Windows XP is still a slow start, and the slow shutdown is frustrating. In fact, Windows XP has already prepared a shortcut for you to quickly switch on and off, it is standby and hibernation.
One, shutdown acceleration one-click standby
Open “ control panel & rdquo; & rarquo; & ldquo; & ldquo; power options & rdquo; select “ advanced & rdquo; tab, set here & ldquo; When the computer power button is pressed, the menu is pulled down, and it is checked to “hibernate>;“standby”. Once the settings are applied, you can use one-click standby. For example, before work, there is a work to be continued tomorrow. Just press the power button on the chassis and you can leave work. The next day, press the power button to quickly enter the system and continue the work that was not completed yesterday.
When you resume from standby, you may be sneaked into the data on your computer. In this regard, in the "Advanced" tab, check "When the computer resumes from standby, ask for the password" item, add a security protection for standby.
Second, build “Sleep” sleep button
First in the "Power Options" dialog box, "Hibernate" tab, select "Play Hibernate" Features. Then right click on the desktop, select “New”→“Shortcut" in the pop-up menu, enter the “rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState” command in the "Create Shortcut" dialog box. . Click “Next” in the “Select Program Title” dialog box to enter “Hibernate”. “ After completing ”, right click on the “Hibernate” shortcut on the desktop, open the dialog box and select the “Shortcuts” tab, and press the shortcut key you like in the “Shortcuts” button. “F8”. Once set, simply press the “F8” key to achieve one-click sleep.
Three, reasonable setting of standby power
Many times, just leave the computer temporarily, then you do not need to turn off the power of most hardware devices, such as USB interface, network card, mouse and other equipment, This will improve the recovery speed.
In the case of a network card, open “Device Manager", right click on the NIC project, and select the "Properties" command in the pop-up menu to open the property settings dialog. Select the “Power Management” tab and uncheck the “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power” option by clicking Apply. Use the same method to disable the power off function of devices such as USB and mouse.
Fourth, the standby state can also turn off the power
ordinary standby method is not able to turn off the power, because the data is stored in the memory, once shut down, it will cause data loss. To shut down, only sleep is used, but sleep starts longer. If you use the STR technology of the motherboard power supply, you can turn off the power while in standby, and it takes only a few seconds to restore the computer to work.
Most motherboards support STR technology. Take the Soyuz SY-I5PRLE motherboard as an example. After booting, go to the CMOS settings page and select “Power Management Setup”. After entering, find the “ACPI Suspend Type” item and set it to “S3(STR)” mode to save the CMOS settings. When the standby is used in the future, the power of the chassis will be automatically turned off. When the power button of the chassis is pressed, the system can be restored to the saved state during standby at high speed.
When using STR technology for standby, you cannot cut off the power supply of the motherboard, otherwise the saved data will be lost. In addition, to wake up the system with the mouse and keyboard in the standby state, you can set it in CMOS and set “PS/S KB /MS Wake up From S3-S5” as “Allow”.
5. Resolve standby automatic recovery problem
Some systems will automatically resume from standby state when they are in standby, and automatically enter standby mode. Most of this problem is caused by improper power settings of the network card. To do this, expand the “Network Adapter” in the “Device Manager”, double-click the NIC item to open the Properties window, in the “Power Management” tab, cancel “Allow this device to take the computer out of standby. Check the status & rdquo;
Six, speed up for sleep standby
When using hibernation and standby, pay attention to some matters. For example, if the system uses hibernation for a long time, the data in the memory will not be cleared, which will make Windows XP run slower. At this time, you can use the memory tools such as “Freemem” to sort out.
If you save a working file before hibernation, temporary files and data will be released, which greatly increases the speed of hibernation and recovery, and enhances data security during recovery. In addition, properly increase the system disk space capacity, open the DMA channel of the disk, and dial the USB and other external devices before hibernation and standby, which can effectively improve the speed and stability of sleep and standby.
