Windows XP release has been around for a while, although Windows XP is said to be the most powerful operating system to date, but like the previous Windows operating system, the newly installed Windows XP system is not In the best condition. You can use some tips to modify the original settings to optimize Windows XP. 1. Speed up the booting time
(1) Turn off some programs that start with Windows and the resident program to select the "Start" menu --> "Run", enter msconfig into the "System Configuration Application", in [ ,null,null,3],Start the] column to close unnecessary programs, cancel the check box in the box, turn off unnecessary programs, and the undefined program can not be arbitrarily closed, so as not to cause Windows errors. (Try first whether you can cancel the resident in the software itself, you can not use this method.), press [Apply] after completion, restart. (2) Set a fixed IP address for Windows XP Although Windows XP is quite fast to the desktop, but the running action is a step by step, you have to wait a while to actually run the program. If your machine is equipped with a network card, Windows XP will automatically search for the IP address when it enters the desktop, so if you do not set a fixed IP address, it will waste a lot of time searching for the IP address. Note: If you do not have a network card, or use a fixed-bandwidth broadband or share bandwidth client, you do not have to change the following settings. Right click on [My Network Places], select [Properties], pop up the [Network Connection] menu, right click on the [Local Area Connection]-->[Property] appears [Local Area Connection Properties], in [ ,null,null,3],In the General], double-click "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)", enter 192.168.0.1 in "IP Address" and enter 255.255.255.0 in "Subnet Mask". 2, change the login settings
(1) shorten the waiting time when closing the "processing program" select "start" menu --> "run", enter regedit, pop up the registry editor, look for [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\ControlPanel\\Desktop ], select WaitToKillAPPTimeout in the right window, press the right mouse button, select "Modify", change its value to 1000 and wait for 1 second when closing "Processing Program" (default: 20000). (2) Shorten the waiting time when the "Handler" error occurs Select "Start" menu --> "Run", enter regedit to pop up the Registry Editor, look for [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\ControlPanel\\Desktop] in the right window, select HungAPPTimeout Press the right mouse button and select "Modify" to change its value to 200, that is, wait for 0.5 seconds when the "Processor" error occurs (default: 5000). (3) Let the system automatically close the program that stops responding Select "Start" menu --> "Run", enter regedit, pop up the registry editor, look for [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\ControlPanel\\Desktop], select AutoEndTasks in the right window, Press the right mouse button and select "Modify" to change its value to 1 (default: 0). (5) Speed up the menu display speed Select "Start" menu --> "Run", enter regedit, pop up the registry editor, look for [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\ControlPanel\\Desktop], select MenuShowDelay in the right window, press the right mouse button, Select "Modify" and change its value to 100 or less (default: 400). It is recommended not to use 0, because the entire menu will be touched whenever the mouse accidentally touches "All Programs". Run out, that's a mess. (6) Shorten the waiting time Select "Start" menu --> "Run", enter regedit, look for [HKEY_LOCAL_MacHINE\\System\\CurrentControlSet\\Control] in the pop-up registry editor, select WaitToKillServiceTimeout in the right window, press the mouse Right click and select “Modify” to change its value to 1000 or less (original setting: 20000). Note: For the above five changes, if you are not familiar with the registry, you can copy the following content into Notepad, set the file name suffix to .reg, and double-click it. RREGEDIT [HKEY_LOCAL_MacHINE\\System\\CurrentControlSet\\Control] "WaitToKillServiceTimeout"="1000" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Control Panel\\Desktop] "WaitToKillAPPTimeout"="1000" "HungAPPTimeout"="200" "AutoEndTasks"="1" "MenuShowDelay"= "100" (7) Increase the speed of "My Network Places" sharing. I don't know if users use Windows XP to open shared resources in "My Network Places". Did you find that the time spent is quite long? This is because it checks The setting work in other computers, sometimes even stopped there for nearly a minute, is quite annoying, you can cancel the check step by the following method: select "Start" menu --> "Run", enter Regedit, look for [HKEY_LOCAL_MacHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/RemoteComputer/NameSpace] in the pop-up registry editor, press the right mouse button to delete {D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF} at this location. can. 3, optimize hard disk management
(1) use NTFS file system format to install Windows XPNTFS file system compared to FAT32 more file security, compression, usage rights and disk quota management. Therefore, it is higher than FAT32 in terms of file security and confidentiality. And the operating system installed under the NTFS file system will compress the files that are not commonly used, so it saves a considerable space compared with FAT32, so if it is used to install the operating system under FAT32 file system (such as Windows98...) It is possible that the files in NTFS may not be read correctly. In addition, in the case of more and more data installed in the sector, NTFS is much better than the FAT32 file system in running performance. Therefore, I suggest that you use the NTFS file system to install your Windows XP system. When using the CD to boot when installing Windows XP, select the NTFS file system when formatting. (2) Setting the IDE device to the DMA transfer mode For some reason, Windows XP sometimes uses the PIO parallel input/output transfer mode instead of the DMA mode on the IDE channel. If this is the case, the user can manually change the IDE channel to DMA mode, which can reduce the CPU cycle occupied by the device. Open Device Manager (right click on My Computer, select Properties, click on the Hardware tab, click on "Device Manager" to open), then click on the "IDE ATA/ATAPI Controller" branch, double-click on "Primary IDE Channel" and click advanced settings. Check the "Transport Mode" drop-down menu, set them all to DMA If Available, and click OK. Modify each IDE controller in the same way. (3) Delete the web cache content into the control panel, double-click "Internet Options" to enter "Internet Properties", click "Delete Files" under "Internet Temporary Files" in [General], and "Delete all offline content" Check the box and press "OK". In addition, there is a [History] in [General] and it is also deleted by the way. Delete some Temp scratchpads: like "E:\\Windows\\TEMP" (Note: my XP is installed on the E drive.), "E:\\DocumentsandSettings\\(username)\\LocalSettings\\Temp" and some software exclusive The Temp (most of which should be set in the software itself) is also removed. (4) Clear the restore point and free up the hard disk space Windows XP sets up the function of creating a "restore point" to store a simple file containing system setting information, in case the system is crashed, the settings are lost. However, under certain circumstances, Windows will create multiple unnecessary restore points, sometimes taking up a few G of hard disk space. We need to delete the files other than the most recent restore point, just click Start -> Programs -> Attachments -> System Tools -> Disk Cleanup, select the hard drive to be cleaned in the pop-up menu, then Select "Clean up" and finally click OK. (5) Regularly performing defragmentation of the hard disk for a long time, and when the program software is installed and deleted, the continuous files in the sector will be broken, so that the hard disk will spend more time when searching for data. efficacy. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to do a good job of defragmentation on a regular basis. This time Windows XP has a significant improvement in defragmentation compared to the Windows 98 defragmentation program, at least not as much time as before. If the user suspects that the Windows itself is not well organized, Norton's Speeddisk can also be used. The following only provides a way to defragment Windows XP. Go to "My Computer" and right click on the disk you want to organize -> Properties--> Tools--> Start Finishing--> 4, speed up the speed of Internet browsing
(1) Unrestricted bandwidth can be reserved to set the enterprise version of Windows XP Professional added QoSRRP (this is the abbreviation of Quality of Service Resource Reservation Protocol, meaning service quality resources pre- Stay agreement). In general, when trying to access information through the available bandwidth, the application either passes through the QoS application interface or through another application interface called TCI. In network communication, a certain bandwidth is reserved for the manager for business security, which is a good thing for QoS applications, but the general user does not need this function, and there are some invisible parts ( The default is 20%) bandwidth is wasted, so I'm here to provide a way to cancel this feature. Note: Users of Windows XP Home Edition do not have to change these settings. Select [Start] menu-->Click [Logout]-->[Logout] to enter the login main screen, press Ctrl+Alt+Del twice in the login main screen, the login window appears, and the user Enter Administrator in the name (Note: to distinguish the size), enter the password in the password field (if there is no password set "blank") Press OK to enter Windows, [Start]-->[Run] enter gpedit .msc enters the [Group Policy] window, select [Computer Configuration]-->[Administrative Template]-->[Network]-->[QoS Packet Scheduler] in the left window, in the right window Double-click "Limit to reserve bandwidth", select "Enabled" and set "Bandwidth Limit (%)" to 0 Application-->OK-->Reboot. (2) Restricting Windows Media Player 8.0 Windows XP bundles the Windows Media Player 8.0 media player. Although Media Player can play almost any format file -- it supports 35 file formats, including MP3 -- it can only record music in Windows Media Audio (also known as WMA) format. But like many other music players, Windows Media Player will go to the web to find information on the music while you play the CD, but Media Player will also take your Medi.
