Windows XP operating system memory optimization guide

  
        Although Windows XP is a very good operating system, its memory requirements are amazing. Even with 128 megabytes of memory, there will be a problem of slow system memory and slow memory. Why does Windows XP require memory? Big? Originally, Windows XP added a lot of new features. These functions are the big memory users. We just need to turn off these unusable functions, then 128 megabytes of memory is more than enough for us. Let's take a look at some of the less commonly used features for memory optimization. I believe that after such optimization, your XP will give you a new Mercedes-Benz experience. First of all, we have to start with XP's "automatic update" function, which is a new feature introduced by Windows XP to facilitate users to upgrade the system. This function can be used when Microsoft introduces system upgrade patches or system security patches. Automatically remind users to upgrade their systems, but there is a requirement for this function, that is, users must be online from time to time, but for those of us who are short of iron and silver, this requirement is not harsh, so we put "automatic upgrade" The function is turned off and changed to "manual upgrade". To do this, right-click on "My Computer", click on Properties, click on "Automatic Updates", and in the "Notification Settings" column, select "Turn off automatic updates. I will manually update my computer". The second step, we have to start with the "system restore" function, the system restore function is a very imaginative idea of ​​Microsoft, but Microsoft has not been able to achieve this idea very well, so the system restore is made. The function can only make the food tasteless, and it is a pity that it is a pity. For the user, it didn't make much difference, so we decided to turn it off to save memory. The specific operation is as follows: Right-click "My Computer", click Properties, the system properties dialog box will pop up, click "System Restore", and tick the "Close System Restore on All Drives" option. The third step is to turn off the "Remote Desktop" feature. One feature of this feature is that it allows others to access your desktop on another machine. This feature is useful in LANs. For example, if you have a problem, you can ask a colleague for help. He can access your machine directly through "Remote Desktop" to solve the problem without going to your front. But for ordinary users who only have one computer, this feature is superfluous, so we turn it off and don't let it waste memory there. The fourth step is to turn off the "automatically send errors" function. Everyone in Window XP must have such an experience. Once a program terminates abnormally, the system will automatically pop up a dialog box asking if you want to send the error to Microsoft. This is XP. The "automatically send error" function, what is the use of such a function? In addition to wasting phone bills, it is of no use to us, so we should turn this feature off without hesitation. Right click on "My Computer", click on Properties, click on "Advanced" → "Error Reporting" and select the "Disable Error Reporting" function. The fifth step is to turn off the unwanted effects in "visual effects". The operating interface of Windows XP is really good. The good-looking behind is the cost of consuming a lot of memory. We prefer to choose speed and beauty. The former, right click on "My Computer", click on Properties, click on "Advanced", in the "Performance" column, click on "Settings", click on "Visual Effects", and close all special appearance settings here. We can save a lot of memory. The sixth step is to turn off the "Internet Time Synchronization" function. "Internet Time Synchronization" is to synchronize your computer clock with the Internet time server once a week, so your system time will be accurate, but this function is for us. It's not very useful, and it can also cause problems with crashes. So we have to turn it off. To do this, click Start→ Control Panel→ Date, Time, Language, and Regional Options, and then click Date & Time→ Internet Time. The seventh step is to turn off the extra services. Windows XP and Windows 2000 can be used as http server, mail server, and FTP server. Therefore, whenever Windows XP starts, many services are started. There are many services for us. Users are completely useless, so turning them off is a good choice.
