A few tricks to make Windows XP more secure (1)

                        Everyone has been using Windows XP for a long time, and is very familiar with the Windows XP operating system! Have you summed up some experience to share with you? Below, I will share some of the experience accumulated in the process of using Windows XP operating system, and also let you quickly get started in the process of using Windows XP operating system. Mastering the skills of XP can better enjoy the powerful features that XP system brings to you. 1. Recover corrupted Win XP system files If Windows XP system files are corrupted by viruses or other reasons, we can recover those corrupted files from the Windows XP installation disk. Specific method: Search for the corrupted file in the installation disk of Windows XP. It should be noted that the last character of the file name is replaced with the bottom line “_ ” & rdquo; for example: if you want to search “Notepad.exe” you need to use &ldquo ;Notepad.ex_” to search. Once you have found it, open the command line mode (enter “cmd”) in "run" and enter: “full path to the EXPAND source file Full path to the target file”. For example: EXPAND D:\\SETUP\\NOTEPAD.EX_ C:\\Windows\\NOTEPAD.EXE. One thing to note is that if there are spaces in the path, you need to include the path in double quotes (quotation marks). Finding is of course the best, but sometimes we can't find the files we need when searching on the Windows XP disk. One reason for this is that the file you are looking for is in the "CAB” file. Since Windows XP treats "CAB" as a folder, for Windows XP, just drag and copy the "CAB” file right and copy it to the appropriate directory. If you are using another Windows platform, search for the "CAB” file containing the target file name. Then open the command line mode and enter: <;EXTRACT /L target location The full path of the CAB file ”, for example: EXTRACT /L C: \\ Windows D: \\ I386 \\ Driver.cab Notepad.exe. As before, as if there are spaces in the path, you need to enclose the path in double quotes. 2, refused to "group similar taskbar", although Windows XP "group similar taskbar button" setting can make your taskbar less open window, keep clean, but for some need to open multiple windows of the same kind of work very inconvenient,. If you use QQ communication software to chat with people online, if there are more than two friends talking to you at the same time, you will immediately feel the inconvenience caused by the default settings of XP DD every time you want to switch the conversation object. You must first click on the group, then select the friends you want to talk in the pop-up menu, and each friend displays the same icon in the group. When there are many conversation objects, you may have to click one by one to see exactly Who replied, waiting for your reaction, and choosing the wrong one, has to choose from the group, it is very troublesome. Obviously, this is not as good as opening a few windows, and clicking on each small window in the taskbar can start chatting. Change method: Click “ Start & Rarr; Control Panel & Rarr; Appearance and Theme & Rarr; Taskbar and & lsquo; Start & rsquo; Menu & rdquo;, in the pop-up window, will be grouped similar to the taskbar button & rdquo; Remove it. 3. Uninstalling the useless dynamic link through the registry The resource manager often leaves useless dynamic links in memory. To eliminate this phenomenon, you can open the registry editor and set the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\ CurrentVersion\\EXPlorer\\AlwaysUnloadDLL=DWORD: 1 Set it to 0 and this feature will be turned off. Note: In order for the settings to take effect, you will need to restart your computer.

4, clear pre-read files in the prefetch folder When Win XP is used for a period of time, the files in the pre-read folder will become very large, there will be dead chain files, which will slow down the system. time. Recommendation: Delete these files on a regular basis. (Windows\\prefetch) 5, Windows XP weight loss method The following method is my current winXP weight loss method, after use, I feel safer, the effect is obvious, at least can reduce the space of 300m. Note: It is not recommended for beginners. Remove the driver backup: Driver.cab file (73MB) in the Windows\\Driver cache\\i386 directory. However, we must insert the Windows installation CD each time we install new hardware. Delete system file backup (usually not used): Run the command line sfc /purgecache to delete the alternate dll file: As long as you copy the installation file or have an installation CD, you can do so. Files under Windows\\system32\\dllcache (minus 200——300mb). 6. Understand the startup time of Win XP Although the startup speed of Windows XP has already made us satisfied, Microsoft still provides us with a gadget to understand the startup time of Windows XP when it starts, and to view the CPU. Usage, Disk I/O, etc., because the tool is graphically displayed, so it is clear at a glance. Tools can be downloaded here. 7, recovery EXE file associated EXE file association error is very troublesome, because the occurrence of this situation is mostly caused by the virus, and the main file of the anti-virus software is EXE file, since the EXE file association error, how can run anti-virus Software? Fortunately, XP provides a command line tool in safe mode for us to use, you can use the command line tool to solve this problem. In safe mode, type: assoc<space >.exe=exefile<carriage>, and “.exe=exefile” will be displayed on the screen. Now close the Command Prompt window, press Ctrl+Alt+Del to bring up the “Windows Security” window, press the “Shutdown” button and select the “Restart” option. After starting Windows in normal mode, all The EXE files will work fine! 8, let Win XP automatically update When Windows has an update, the automatic update system will prompt you to upgrade Windows, of course, this feature will have a real effect after surfing the Internet. One thing to be sure is that in order to achieve automatic updates, the system must collect the user's computer information, and then send it to the Microsoft site, through feedback to decide whether to upgrade. This setting is also in the "System Properties" window, switch to the "Automatic Updates" tab to see that there are three choices here, select the last "Close automatic update", so the system will not appear often Prompt you to update automatically, if you do not use the genuine Windows XP operating system, I suggest you turn off this feature, because he may let you upgrade the system to Windows XP SP2 without knowing it, this will cause the system Unstable.

9. Installing IIS in the Home Edition As you know, Windows XP Home Edition cannot install IIS or PWS. As a general rule, you can only upgrade to XP Professional or use Windows 2000, but with a little help, you can install IIS on Windows XP Home. First enter "“c:\\Windows\\inf\\sysoc.inf” in the "Start" menu, and the system will automatically open the sysoc.inf file using Notepad. Find the section "[Components]” in sysoc.inf and continue to find a line similar to "iis=iis.dll,OcEntry,iis.inf,hide,7", replace this line with "lds;iis" =iis2.dll,OcEntry,iis2.inf,,7”. Then save and close. Insert the Windows 2000 Professional CD into the CD-ROM drive and press the Shift key to disable the CD-ROM drive from running automatically. Enter "“CMD" in the run and press Enter to open the command line mode. Enter the following two commands at the command line and press Enter after each line command (assuming the CD-ROM drive is D): EXPand d:\\i386\\ Iis.dl_ c:\\Windows\\system32\\setup\\iis2.dll EXPand d:\\i386\\iis.in_ c:\\Windows\\inf\\iis2.inf At this point, open your control panel and click “Add Remove Programs ” icon, then click “Add and remove Windows components”. Please take a closer look. The operating system displayed in the “Start” menu is Windows XP Home, but after modification, there is already an option to add IIS. Then you can add IIS as you would in Windows XP Professional or Windows 2000. In this case we only installed the WWW service. The system will start copying files, which will take some time. And for this reason, please keep the Windows 2000 Professional CD in the CD-ROM drive. At the end of the installation, you can open the "Control Panel & Rarr; Performance and Options & Rarr; Management Tools", "Internet Information Service Management" has appeared there. If you want to verify that IIS is working properly and IE is open, type “http://localhost” in the address bar and press Enter. If you can see the interface in Figure 3, then your IIS will be running normally. Last but not least: If you need to insert the Window Whistler CD or you need to provide the exch_adsiisex.dll file during the installation process, it is because you installed IIS by default. To solve this problem, just click "&dequo;details" when installing IIS, and then cancel the selection of SMTP (ie do not install SMTP server), then you will not need those two files when copying files. If you find that the Internet Information Services (IIS) installation project has been displayed after you installed the location in Figure 1, but they cannot be selected at all, it is likely that you are using iis.dl_ and iis.in_ Removed from Windows XP Professional, you can continue to install normally by replacing it with Windows 2000 Professional. After verification, several services such as WWW and FTP can be run normally on Windows XP Home with such modifications.
