Win XP has become the preferred operating system for many computer players with its gorgeous operation screen and stable performance, but in the process of using Windows XP you will find that the operating system over time It is getting slower and slower in speed. How to improve the speed of Windows XP has become a topic of great concern to users.
1,
faster boot time every time you start Windows XP, the blue scroll bar will tirelessly took several laps, the pursuit of high efficiency you, is not very much hope Can it take a few laps? In fact, we can completely reduce its scrolling time to speed up the startup. To do this, open the Registry Editor, expand the HKEY_LOCAL_MacHINE SYSTEM CurrentControlSet Control Session Manager Memory Management PrefetchParameters branch, find the EnablePrefetcher subkey in the middle window, and change its default value of "3" to "1". . Next, right-click on the desktop, click "My Computer", select the "Properties" command, select the "Hardware" tab in the window that opens, and click the "Device Manager" button. Expand "IDE ATA/ATAP Controller" in the "Device Manager" window, double-click the "Secondary IDE Channel" option, select the "Advanced" tab in the pop-up dialog box, and the "Device Type" in "Device 0" In the middle, the original "automatic detection" is changed to "none", and "OK" is exited. The "main IDE channel" modification method is consistent. Now restart your computer and see if your scroll bar scrolling time is reduced? Note: Friends who use the VIA chip motherboard must not modify the "VIA BUS MASTER IDE CONTROLLER" option.
Alternatively, if you have not chosen to create multiple different hardware profiles, or if you want to automatically load the default hardware profile during startup without displaying the list items, you can do so in the "Hardware Profile Selection" section. Enter “0” in “Seconds”. Pressing the space bar while you need to select will display the list.
2, optimization Network Neighborhood Network Neighborhood
Windows XP in use, the system will first search your shared network directories and can be used as shared printers and scheduled tasks in the plan and network-related tasks Then it is displayed, which will directly affect the speed of the computer. If it is not necessary, it should be deleted. The specific steps are as follows: In the Registry Editor, find HKEY_LOCAL_MacHINE\\sofeware\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Current Version\\Explore\\RemoteComputer\\NameSpace, delete the {2227A280-3AEA-1069-A2DE08002B30309D} (printer) and {D6277990-4C6A- 11CF8D87- 00AA0060F5BF} (scheduled task), then restart the computer, when you visit the network neighborhood again, it is found that the running speed has increased.
3, after receiving the response system to speed up the switch machine speed
off in Windows XP, the system will always send a message to a remote server and run the program, notify them to shut down and wait Only started to shut down. If we want to speed up the boot, we can first set the time to automatically end the task. To do this, open the Registry Editor, expand the HKEY_CURRENT _ USER Control Panel Desktop branch, and locate the AutoEndTasks subkey, setting it to 1. Then set the "HungAPPTimeout" subkey under the branch to "1000" and the "WaitTOKillService" to "1000" (the default is 5000). By resetting this way, the shutdown speed of the computer can be significantly accelerated.
5, quickly switch to different working environments
order to meet the various needs and adapt to different working environment, you can create a number of different hardware profiles at the same time. Press the “Copy” button in the “Hardware Profile” dialog box to back up the current hardware configuration file and rename it, and do it in different working environments. Go to the "Hardware Configuration File" dialog box, use the up and down arrows to move the configuration file, put the most commonly used at the top, select "Wait for the user to select the hardware configuration file" on the "Hardware Configuration File Selection" section, restart the computer. See the "Hardware Profile Selection Menu". This setting method is more practical for users who use laptops. It can create multiple hardware profiles for different occasions. It is convenient to switch and greatly improve work efficiency.
6, to improve broadband speeds
we all know, the professional version of Windows XP by default reserves 20% of the bandwidth, in fact, this is for our individual users do not have much effect. Instead of being idle, use it as follows: Enter gpedit.msc in Start → Run to open the Group Policy Editor. Locate Computer Configuration→Administrative Templates→Network→QoS Packet Scheduler. Select Restrict Bandwidth on the right. Select Properties to open the Restrict Bandwidth Properties dialog box and select Disable. After this reset, you can release the reserved 20% of the bandwidth.
7, empty the system redundant hardware information
daily work using swappable hardware device is a regular thing, so the process is repeated to install the drivers will be left behind a lot of hardware in the system Registration information, etc., slow down the system, how to empty these redundant hardware information? First click on the "Copy" button to back up (Profile 2), then rename it, for example to Profile, and then restart the computer, there will be a prompt for you to choose: "1, Profile. 2, Profile1 3, None of the Above ”, where “1” and “2” are the hardware configuration files that already exist in the system. Of course, we choose “3”, so that Windows can re-detect the hardware, and the “Detect Hardware” dialog box will appear on the screen. And prompt "about a few minutes", the "Configuration Settings" dialog box that appears later, prompts "Successfully set the configuration of the new computer, the name is Profile1", click the "OK" button to reinstall the driver of the hardware device program. Finally, remove the two hardware configuration files except Profile1 to prevent you from still asking which hardware configuration file to use when booting.
Well, after we carefully adjusted WIN XP is not a faster and more humane. Interested friends may wish to give it a try!
