Several aspects to be aware of after the system is installed

The installation system is now like a compulsory course. If you have nothing to do, you will install the system yourself, not faked others, but I want to buy XP discs after a long time, after a long copy of the file, Windows. After identifying the hardware and initializing the system, and finally entering the beautiful interface of windows xp, please pay attention to the settings in the five tips that this article will prompt you, you will find that XP is more convenient to use.

1, turn off the system restore function

Although Windows XP system restore is one of its selling points, but I suggest you close this setting. System restore requires huge hard disk space. The default setting is to restore points in each partition. Record the software installation and usage status of each partition. If you can't wait to use the computer according to the default settings, you can't use it for a week. The hard disk will be filled with a large number of files generated by G, and this kind of restore function; and the system restores a large amount of data to read and write the hard disk, the CPU usage is also very large, and most people's machines still stay at present. In CPUs below the G level, the speed may be affected. So unless your hardware is really top-level configuration, and you need to install new software or change the system settings frequently, you can use XP system restore function, otherwise it will be closed, the old and practical software itself The uninstall function.

If you really want to appreciate this new feature, the compromise is to turn off the rest of the partition, leaving you the XP partition, so you can record and select the status of Windows. Restored. Like you install games and put pictures, MP3 partitions, there is no need to use the system restore function.

2, "Group group similar taskbar button" in the taskbar, set

This depends on your most commonly used application. “Group similar taskbar buttons” setting can make your taskbar less open and keep clean, but if you use QQ communication software to chat with people online, if there are more than two friends at the same time You talk, you will immediately feel the inconvenience caused by the default settings of XP - every time you want to switch the conversation object, you must first click on the group, then pop up the menu to select the friends to talk to, and each friend is in the group All the icons are displayed in the same way. When there are many conversation objects, you may have to click one by one to see who just replied, waiting for your reaction, and choosing the wrong one, you have to choose from the group. It is very troublesome. Obviously, this is not as good as opening a few windows, and clicking on each small window in the taskbar can start chatting.

This default setting for XP is designed to make it easier for users to browse the web. Therefore, it is recommended that you change this setting according to your actual application. If you want to browse the Internet frequently, you can use an IE kernel browser such as MYIE, which can affect the use of QQ without occupying multiple taskbar positions. Two things in one fell swoop. The way to change is: Start - Control Panel - Appearance and Theme - Taskbar and Start Menu, remove the "Hold in front of the "Collect similar taskbar button" option.

3, text file and mail maximization skills

From Windows 2000, when you click on the e-mail stored in the hard disk with the suffix EML, the default state is not always maximized It's a nasty little window, and it doesn't have the ability to remember. When you maximize this window, the next time you open the mail, it's a small window. There are similar situations in text files. This is estimated to be a negligence in Microsoft's design. In the formal help files and setup options, there is no description or option for this memory maximization problem. I once sent an email to Microsoft China's feedback mailbox on this question, and the answer I got was to let me call the technical support hotline, hehe. Although it has no effect on the function, it is very troublesome to click the maximize button every time. This small problem in XP has not been solved, and it is estimated that it is plagued by many people.

The author explored XP in the past two days and finally found that you can use the drag window size method to maximize the memory of Windows: after opening an EML mail, don't click the maximize button, but Move the pointer to the edge of the small window, hold down the left mouse button to pull the window up, down, left, and right to the maximum state of the screen, then click Close. Next time you will find that Windows is automatically maximized when you open this file. The same is true for the text file TXT.

But to remind everyone that in Windows 98, it is not the use of such skills. In 98, to maximize the state of email memory, you must first maximize an open email, then click Reply, the interface of the reply will be maximized, and Windows remembers its maximized state. In Windows 9X, if you are simply dragging and dropping windows or maximizing mail every time, it is invalid.
