We always pursue faster speed and more stable performance in the process of using the operating system. After installing the Windows XP operating system, it is possible to optimize the system by modifying some settings. Here I will prepare 20 Windows XP operating system optimization techniques for everyone. 1. Remove the attachments imposed by Windows
1) Modify \\winnt\\inf\\sysoc.inf with Notepad NOTEPAD, use the Find/Replace function, type in the search box, hide (an English comma followed by hide), will " Replace with "The box is set to empty. And select all replacement, so that all the hides are removed, 2) save and exit, 3) run "Add-Remove Programs", you will see several options in "Add /Remove Windows Components" This way you can delete some unused attachments 2. Turn off the debugger Dr. Watson;
Dr. Watson is the built-in system maintenance tool that will display when the program fails to load or crash. Run drwtsn32 and remove all but the "dump all thread context". Otherwise, if there is a program error, the hard disk will be loud for a long time, and it will take up a lot of space. If you have encountered this situation before, please find the user.dmp file and delete it, it may save tens of M space. This is the scene of the error program and it is useless to us. Then open the registry, find the HKEY_LOCAL_MacHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\AeDebug subkey branch, double-click the Auto key name under it, change its "Value Data" to 0, and finally press F5 to refresh the settings. This completely cancels its operation. In addition, the memory.dmp that appears in the blue screen can also be deleted. You can turn off DUMP 3 when BSOD is turned off in my computer/properties. Turn off System Restore.
Right click on "My Computer" on the desktop, select "Properties", and find "System Restore". You are not old-fashioned to install some software (are you more powerful than me??), you can also remove it, which can save a lot of space. 4. Turn off "sleep support"
Because the hibernation function takes up a lot of hard disk space, so it is better to turn off, console --> power option --> sleep (do not tick) 5, turn off Necessary Services
Click Start→ Settings→ Control Panel. Double-click "Administrative Tools" → "Services". After opening, you will see the list of services, some services have been started, and some have not. Right-click the service you want to configure and click Properties. On the "General" tab, select "Auto", "Manual" or "Disable", where "Auto" means that Windows XP automatically starts the service each time the system starts up; "Manual" means that Windows XP does not automatically start the service. Service, but manually start the service when you need it; "disable" means that the service is not allowed to start. In the actual configuration, select "manual" or "disable" to achieve the purpose of shutting down the service. It is recommended to use the manual function, so that you can start some services that are temporarily needed at any time. Some services are required for Windows XP and cannot be turned off, otherwise the system will crash. As for the function of each service, we can view it by double-clicking the service or hovering over the service name. The description of the specific service is simple, you can understand it, you can choose those who want it. The method of modification is to select the disabled service, right click, select "Properties" > "Stop", set "Startup Type" to "Manual" or "Disabled". 6. Speed up the XP switch
1) Shorten the wait time Open the Registry Editor, find HKEY_LOCAL_MacHINE\\System\\CurrentControlSet\\Control, and set WaitToKillServiceTimeout to 1000 or less. (Original setting: 20000) Locate the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Control Panel\\Desktop key and change the WaitToKillAppTimeout in the right window to 1000. (The original setting value is 20000). It only waits for 1 second when the program is closed. Change the HungAPPTimeout value to: 200 (original setting: 5000), which means that the program waits for 0.5 seconds when an error occurs. 2) Let the system automatically close the program that stops responding. Open the registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Control Panel\\Desktop key and set the AutoEndTasks value to 1. (original setting: 0) 3) MsConfig. Most of my friends should be familiar with MsConfig, a built-in Windows setup tool. Click on the Start menu, select "Run", then type "msconfig" in the entry box and press Enter. What we need to do is the (Startup) tab, click on it, this tab shows all the programs that are running when Windows starts. There is no program here that is life-and-death for Windows, so feel free to remove the unwanted ones. After removing some of the hooks, the Windows startup will be faster, and the idle system resources will be more. 7, XP Prefetcher
Windows XP comes with a service called Prefetcher, this service manages the initial program when Windows starts, and the specified program can be quickly loaded in the future. Prefetcher is turned on by default, but its performance can be further improved. Open the Registry Editor and find it in the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MacHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession ManagerMemory ManagementPrefetchParameters, which has a key name named EnablePrefetcher, and in most cases its value is 3. The recommended setting is 5, which works best on my machine when set to 5. Try different values as you like until you find the one that works best for your machine. You can also disable Prefetcher by setting the value to 0. However, unless it is for testing purposes, most people will not be stupid enough to set it to zero. 8, compressed folder
This is a very good optimization, Windows XP built-in support for .ZIP files, we can view the zip file as a folder. However, the system uses some resources to implement this feature, so disabling this feature can improve system performance. The implementation is very simple, just cancel the registration of zipfldr.dll, click Start - Run, type: regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll. Then press Enter. 9, do not load DLL files
After the browser is used, some DLL files are often cached in memory for a long time, a considerable part of the memory will be used by unused DLL files. To prevent this from happening, locate the registry as follows: HKEY_LOCAL_MacHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorer Next create a double-byte value called AlwaysUnloadDLL with a value of 1. If you want to remove this optimization, just set the key to 0 (you can simply delete the key). Note: This optimization will not take effect until Windows is restarted. 10, completely turn off the Windows XP file protection function (this caution)
From the registry, find HKEY_LOCAL_MacHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\Winlogon, modify the "SFCDisable" key value to "FFFFFF9D", if you need to re Enable this feature and reset it to "0". 11, manually specify the process order view
Simultaneously press the Control+Alt+Delete three keys, then click on the "Processes" tab, you can see a dialog box as shown above, you can see here All processes currently running. If you want to allocate more process time for a program, such as 3d/33.sHtml' target='_blank' class='article'>3D Studio Max, just right click on the process and move the mouse pointer down to "Set Priority" (Set Priority), then choose which priority you want this program to be. When I receive the email, I will set 3DMAX to "standard", but when I leave the computer, I will raise its priority to the highest "real time", so that the computer can focus on 3D actions more quickly and more quickly. 12, speed up the window display speed
We can modify the registry to change the window from the taskbar pop-up, and minimize the action of the regression taskbar, the steps are as follows: open the registry editor, find the HKEY_CURRENT_USER Control Panel\\Desktop\\WindowMetrics sub Key branch, find the MinAniMate key value in the right window, its type is REG_SZ. By default, the value of this health value is 1, indicating that the animation displayed in the window is opened. If it is changed to 0, the animation display is disabled. From the Start menu, select the "Logout" command to activate the changes you just made. 13, remove the "update" option
For most users, Windows XP Windows Update function does not seem to have much effect, we can remove it, the steps are as follows: open the registry editor, find HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software \\Microsoft \\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\PolicIEs Explorer subkey branch, select the "New" command under the "Edit" menu, create a new value of type REG_DWord, name is NoCommonGroups, double-click the newly created NoCommonGroups subkey, in the "Edit String" text box Enter the key value "1", then click the "OK" button and restart the system. 14, modify the Windows XP login background pattern
Faced with a long-lasting monotonous login pattern, you may be tired for a long time, we can use the registry to replace it with your favorite pattern, the steps are as follows: open the registry Editor, find the HKEY_USERS\\.DEFAULT\\Control Panel\\Desktop subkey branch, double-click wallpaper, type the path of the image you selected, such as: c:\\Documents and Settings\\My Documents\\My Pictures\\mypic.bmp, click " OK", then find Tilewallpaper, double-click it to enter the key value "1", restart the system to see the effect. 15. Modify the background color when logging in.
If you want to change the background color when you log in, you can do the following: Open the registry editor, find the HKEY_USERS\\.DEFAULT\\Control Panel\\Colors subkey branch, and double click The name of the Background key under the key branch, the "Edit String" dialog box appears, enter the key value representing the color in the "Value Data" text box (such as black RGB value is 000, white RGB value is 255 255 255, The system default is 58 110 165), click the "OK" button to restart the system. 16. Set startup information or add warning information
If you want to display some customized information you have defined when starting Windows XP, you can do the following: Open the registry editor and find HKEY_LOCAL_MacHINE_SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\ CurrentVersion\\Winlogon subkey branch, double-click the LegalNoticeCaption name under it, open the "Edit String" window, and enter the title of the information dialog box in the "Value Data" text box, such as "Hello, welcome to use this machine" , then double-click LegalNoticeText, in the "Edit String" window that appears, enter the warning message you want to display, such as "Please do not modify the settings of this level, thank you!", click the "OK" button, restart See the modified effect
