* sharing program

Some readers may have this when installing multiple systems Concerns: Each system is different. If I use it frequently, wouldn't I have to install various applications in each system? Is this too a waste of space? Indeed, the program we installed in Win98, if you switch to WinXP to use the computer, there are no options or shortcut icons to start the software on the start menu and desktop. See here, you don't think you have to repeat the program again! In fact, most of the commonly used programs can be started directly with the startup file in the installation directory. We can put the shortcut of the startup file on the desktop, and it can be used normally. But to explain, some software can not be used across platforms, such as AcdSee, Office, Outlook Express and so on.

* Sharing IE Resources

IE in multiple systems is installed in multiple partitions, so the IE favorites and temporary files in each system are not The same, it is very troublesome to use.

1. Sharing temporary files

First, we enter the Windows 98 system, create a new folder, named My Cache (recommended to build this folder in a non-system partition). Then go to the "Control Panel", double-click the "Internet Options" icon with the left mouse button, click the "Settings" button in the "General" tab of the "Internet Options" settings window to open the "Settings" window. Then click the "Move Folder" button (Figure 7), select the folder you just created - "My Cache", and click the "OK" button to save the settings.

After the setting is completed, the computer will restart, then enter the Windows 2000 system, open the newly created folder - "My Cache", without regard to any warnings, will be " The Temporary Internet Files folder is deleted. Then move the Internet temporary folder to the My Cache folder as described above, and set the value of "Used Disk Space" to the same size as Windows 98, and the system will restart again for the settings to take effect.

Follow the same steps to enter Windows XP, and then specify the IE temporary file to the "My Cache" file.

* Share Favorites

Open my computer and create a folder called "Favorites" in a partition (preferably not a system partition); then "Favorites" All the URLs in the folder under the folder are copied; finally open the registry editor, find the "KEY_CURRENT_USER\\ Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\Shell Folders" primary key, find "Favorits" in the right window, open it, Change its directory to the newly created "Favorites" file path, save and exit the Registry Editor. In this way, the favorite link in this system will be transferred to this newly created "Favorites".

In the same way, you can change the IE favorites path in other operating systems to the newly created "Favorites".

Menus and Formats

* Create personalized multi-system menus

The multi-system boot menu will put the highest level system to the top one by default (usually the position is: Win9X→WinNT→Win2000→WinXP), and there is a default waiting time. If you do not manually select it, it will automatically enter the highest. Level system. Can you re-arrange them, change the wait time or change one of the system items "Microsoft Windows XP Professional" to "Enter my Windows XP"? If you dress up like this, your multi-system menu will look different and full of personality!

The above state is controlled by a file called Boot.ini, which is located in the directory of the system partition (usually C:\\), which is roughly as follows (depending on the type and system of the installation system). Each computer is different):

[boot loader]

timeout=10

default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(4 )\\Windows

[Operating systems]

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(4)\\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect

C:\\="Previous Operating System on C:"]

where "timeout=10" is the waiting time for setting the system into the system, at least 0, up to several days or even months without problems;

"default=multi(0)disk( 0) rdisk(0)partition(4)\\Windows" is an option that is automatically highlighted at startup, which is the default first operating system;

"[operating systems]" is listed for The startup item we chose, The computer is "Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional" and "Microsoft Windows XP Professional", as it wanted to show personality, he can use other content in place, and support Chinese characters, the content you want to put quotation marks. You can also add a few more fake options to confuse people who are arbitrarily moving your computer by adding "multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\\ under "[Operating systems]" WINNT=” option, just change one of the numbers or folders. In addition, if the order of the options is interchanged, it also changes at startup.

* View NTFS format files in Win9X

During the process of installing multiple systems Win2000 or WinXP, there will be an option to ask if you want to convert the installation partition to NTFS format, if you choose to use NTFS format, then the partition content is not visible when switching to Win9X system. This is because the NTFS format is generated with the WinNT system. The original intention of the micro-software is to apply the NTFS format to the server, so the Win9X system for individual users does not support the NTFS format.

If you want to keep the NTFS format and want to access the contents of the NTFS partition under Win9X, the only way is to borrow the software NTFS for Windows 98. It is designed specifically for Windows 9x systems to access NTFS partitions. It can be used to read and write NTFS partitions in Windows 9x environment.

Before installing the software, you need to prepare 7 system files of Win2000: Ntfs.sys, Autochk.exe, Ntoskrnl.exe, Ntdll.dll, C_1252.nls, C_437.nls, L_intl.nls, Among them, Ntfs.sys is located in the /Windows/System32/Drivers directory after installation, and other files are located in /Windows/System32 after installation.

Go to http://www.skycn.com/soft/3537.Html to download NTFS for Windows 98 and copy it and the above seven system files to the FAT format partition that Win98 can recognize. Then install it. After the installation is complete, the NTFS Configure (NTFS Configuration) program will be automatically run, the "NTFS For Windows98 Configuration" configuration dialog box will pop up, enter the path of the seven system files in NTFS System Files (Figure 8), and then in the Driver Letter Assignments Enter the NTFS partition drive letter you want (do not add a colon when entering, and can not be the same as all the original drive letters under Win98, this drive letter is only valid in Win98 environment, will not affect the original partition structure of Win2000) Finally click "Apply", after restarting, you can access the NTFS partition under Win98.
