Windows XP settings three questions

Q: How do I display (hide) the icons in the system tray?

A: Windows XP automatically hides the icons in the system tray of the taskbar that have not been clicked recently to keep the system tray clean. However, maybe you want an icon to always show, an icon is always hidden, then you need to make some necessary settings.

Right-click on the taskbar and click to open the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties window. Click the "Customize" button under the "Taskbar" option to open the "Custom Notification" window, select an item in the icon item list box, then a "Notification Behavior" drop-down list box will appear on the right side of the item. You just have to choose "always show" or "always hide".

Q: How do I achieve a quick shutdown or reboot?

Answer: Under Windows XP, when the system is shut down or restarted normally through the “Start System” menu on the “Start” menu, the system usually saves the settings for the user's operation. This is often unnecessary and will be Waste a lot of precious time. In fact, you can achieve a quick shutdown or restart by another method.

The specific operation is as follows: press "Ctrl+Alt+Delete" to call up "Windows Task Manager", click to open the "Shutdown" menu on the menu bar, and then press the Ctrl key on the keyboard. Then, click the "Close" or "Restart" item in the "Shutdown" menu to quickly shut down or restart.

Q: How do I disable the "zipfolder" function?

A: Windows XP has a built-in "zipfolder" function that allows us to view ZIP archives as standard Windows folders. But this is at the expense of some of the system's resources, you can completely disable this feature to save system resources and improve system performance.

The method of its implementation is very simple: by logging out the registration item of the dynamic link library file "zipfldr.dll" in the system.

The specific operation is as follows: Click “Start→Run”, type “regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll”, and then click “OK”. If you want to enable this feature again, just click "Start → Run", type "regsvr32 zipfldr.dll" and click "OK".
