Make Windows XP run more smoothly (3)

Seven, mobile temporary file storage path

Most applications generate temporary files at runtime, and these temporary files are saved by default. Partition C disk, long-time frequent reading and writing C disk is very easy to generate a large number of file fragments, thus affecting the performance of the C disk, and the C disk is the partition of the storage system boot core file, the performance of the C disk directly affects the stability and operation of the system effectiveness.

Try to install the application software on a partition other than the boot disk and regularly organize the hard disk. This will minimize disk fragmentation and keep the startup or read/write speed at its best.

Internet Explorer Temporary Folder

In the main IE window, go to the “Tools→Internet Options→General” tab, open the “Temporary Internet Files” setting interface, and click “Move Folder”. The button moves the temporary directory saved in the C drive to the drive other than the C drive. If you are using broadband, you can set the Temporary Folder usage space to the minimum value of 1M

Temporary files

Files will be saved in the burn temporary folder of the C drive before burning, enter the Explorer, select the drive letter and click the "Properties" item in the right mouse button, in the "Record" This temporary folder can be placed on other drives under the tab.

My Documents

Right click on "My Documents" and in the property settings, you can change the default save path of "My Documents" to other drive letters.

VIII. Adding Virtual Memory

Go to the "Advanced" settings window of "Performance Options" and first adjust both "Process Plan" and "Memory Usage" to "Program" optimization mode. Click the "Change" button to enter the virtual memory settings window. If your memory is larger than 256M, it is recommended that you disable the paging file.

The default paging file is 1.5 times the physical memory. Disabling the system cache requires a system reboot. If your memory is lower than 256M, please do not disable the paging file, otherwise it will cause the system to crash or you can no longer start XP!

In addition to CPU and hard disk, XP running performance depends largely on memory. In view of the fact that the current memory price has dropped to a low point, I strongly recommend that you upgrade your memory to 512M or higher (preferably 1G). Only then can experience the charm of XP more!
