Windows XP system security coup

Everyone has been using Windows XP for a long time, and is already very familiar with the Windows XP operating system! Have you summed up some experience to share with you?

Mastering the skills of XP can better enjoy the powerful features that XP system brings to you.

1. Recover corrupted WinXP system files

If Windows XP system files are corrupted by viruses or other reasons, we can recover those corrupted files from the Windows XP installation disk.

Specific method: Search for corrupted files in the installation disk of WindowsXP. It should be noted that the last character of the file name is replaced with the bottom line "_" and rdquo; for example: if you want to search for "Notepad.exe" You will need to search with “Notepad.ex_”.

After searching, open the command line mode (enter “cmd” in "run" and enter: <;full path to the full path target file of the EXPAND source file”. For example: EXPANDD: SETUPNOTEPAD.EX_C: WindowsNOTEPAD.EXE. One thing to note is that if there are spaces in the path, you need to include the path in double quotes (quotation marks).

Of course, the best is found, but sometimes we can't find the files we need when searching on the Windows XP disk. One reason for this is that the file you are looking for is in the "CAB” file. Since Windows XP treats "CAB" as a folder, for Windows XP, just drag and copy the "CAB" file to the appropriate directory.

If you are using another Windows platform, search for the ""CAB” file containing the target file name. Then open the command line mode and enter: “EXTRACT/L the full path of the target location CAB file, for example: EXTRACT/LC: WindowsD: I386Driver.cabNotepad.exe. As before, as if there are spaces in the path, you need to enclose the path in double quotes.

2, Reject “Group similar taskbars”

Although Windows XP “group similar taskbar buttons” setting can make your taskbar less open Keep it clean, but it is very inconvenient for some work that needs to open multiple windows of the same kind. If you use QQ communication software to chat with people online, if there are more than two friends talking to you at the same time, you will immediately feel the inconvenience caused by the default settings of XP DD every time you want to switch the conversation object. You must first click on the group, then select the friends you want to talk in the pop-up menu, and each friend displays the same icon in the group. When there are many conversation objects, you may have to click one by one to see exactly Who replied, waiting for your reaction, and choosing the wrong one, has 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. Change method: Click “Start → Control Panel & Rarr; Appearance and Theme & Rarr; Taskbar and 'Start' Menu> In the pop-up window, remove the hook in front of the "Group Taskbar Button" option.

3, uninstalling useless dynamic links through the registry

Resource Manager often leaves useless dynamic links in memory, in order to eliminate this phenomenon, you can Open the Registry Editor and set the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREmicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionEXPlorerAlwaysUnloadDLL=DWORD:1 Set it to 0 and this feature will be turned off. Note: In order for the settings to take effect, you will need to restart your computer.

4, clear the pre-read file in the prefetch folder

When WinXP is used for a period of time, the files in the pre-read folder will become very large, inside There will be dead chain files, which will slow down the system time. Recommendation: Delete these files on a regular basis. (Windowsprefetch)

5, WindowsXP weight loss method

The following method is my current winXP weight loss method, after use, I feel safer, the effect is obvious, at least can be reduced 300m space. Note: It is not recommended for beginners.

Remove the driver backup: Driver.cab file (73MB) in the WindowsDrivercachei386 directory, but we must insert the Windows installation CD each time we install new hardware.

Delete system file backup (usually not used): Run the command line sfc/purgecache

Delete the alternate dll file: as long as you copy the installation file or have the installation CD, you can this way. Files under Windowssystem32dllcache (minus 200--300mb).

6, understand WinXP startup time

Although the startup speed of WindowsXP has made us satisfied, but Microsoft still provides us with a way to understand The gadget that consumes the startup time when Windows XP starts, as well as the usage rate of the cpu, DiskI/O, etc., because the tool is displayed graphically, so it is clear at a glance. Tools can be downloaded here.

7, recovery EXE file association

EXE file association error is very troublesome, because the occurrence of this situation is mostly caused by viruses, and the main anti-virus software The files are all EXE files. Since the EXE file is faulty, how can you run the anti-virus software? Fortunately, XP provides a command line tool in safe mode for us to use, you can use the command line tool to solve this problem.

In safe mode, type: assoc<space>.exe=exefile<carriage>, and “.exe=exefile” will be displayed on the screen. Now close the Command Prompt window, press Ctrl+Alt+Del to bring up the “Windows Security” window, press the “Shutdown” button and select the “Restart” option. After starting Windows in normal mode, all The EXE files will work fine!

8, let WinXP automatically update

When Windows has an update, the automatic update system will prompt you to upgrade Windows, of course, this feature will be There will be real results after surfing the Internet. One thing to be sure is that in order to achieve automatic updates, the system must collect the user's computer information, and then send it to the Microsoft site, through feedback to decide whether to upgrade. This setting is also in the "System Properties" window, switch to the "Automatic Updates" tab to see that there are three choices here, select the last "Close automatic update", so the system will not appear often Prompt you to update automatically, if you do not use the genuine Windows XP operating system, it is recommended that you turn off this feature, because he may let you upgrade the system to Windows XP SP2 version without knowing, which will cause system instability.

9. Installing IIS in the Home Edition

As you know, Windows XP Home Edition cannot install IIS or PWS. According to the general method, you can only upgrade to XPProfessional or use Windows2000, but you can install IIS on WindowsXPHome as long as you use the means.

First enter "ld:;c:\\Windows\\inf\\sysoc.inf” in the "Start" menu, and the system will automatically open the sysoc.inf file using Notepad. Find the section "[Components]” in sysoc.inf and continue to find a line similar to "iis=iis.dll,OcEntry,iis.inf,hide,7", replace this line with "lds;iis" =iis2.dll,OcEntry,iis2.inf,,7”. Then save and close.

Insert the Windows2000 Professional CD into the CD-ROM drive and press the Shift key to disable the CD-ROM drive. In the run, type "CMD" and then press Enter to open the command line mode. Enter the following two commands at the command line and press Enter after each line command (assuming the CD-ROM drive is D):

EXPandd:\\i386\\iis.dl_c:\\Windows\\system32\\setup\\iis2.dll

EXPandd:\\i386\\iis.in_c:\\Windows\\inf\\iis2.inf

, open your control panel and click on the "Add Remove Programs" icon, then click on "Add and Remove Windows Components".

Please take a closer look. The operating system displayed in the "Start" menu is Windows XP Home, but after modification, there is already an option to add IIS.

Then you can add IIS by following the method in Windows XP Professional or Windows 2000. In this example, we only installed the WWW service. The system will start copying files, which will take some time. And for this reason, please keep the Windows 2000 Professional CD in the CD-ROM drive.

After the installation is complete, you can open “Control Panel →Performance and Options →Administrative Tools","Internet Information Service Management"

If you want to verify that IIS is working properly and you have IE open, type "“http://localhost”" in the address bar and press Enter. If you can see the interface in Figure 3, then your IIS All of them are running normally.

Finally, there is one more caveat: if you need to insert WindowWhistlerCD or you need to provide exch_adsiisex.dll during the installation process, it is because you installed according to the default options. IIS. To solve this problem, just click "&dequo;details" when installing IIS, and then cancel the selection of SMTP (ie do not install SMTP server), then you will not need those two files when copying files.

If you find that the Internet Information Services (IIS) installation project has been displayed after you installed the location in Figure 1, but they cannot be selected at all, it is likely because you are using iis.dl_ And iis.in_ is taken from WindowsXPProfessional, as long as it is replaced by Windows2000 Professional, you can continue to install normally.

After verification, several services such as WWW and FTP can be run normally on Windows XP Home after such modification.
