Easy to lose weight! Let Windows7 system lose weight 3GB (a)

No one can deny that the Windows system is already a very large project, and as the version is constantly upgraded, its size is getting more and more bloated. After the installation of the disk space to the Vista era, it has already occupied 12GB, and Less than 15G of space is not available for Vista. Compared with Vista, the normal installation of XP system is less than 2G, which is a world of difference! The analogy of the image, XP is slim and beautiful "Liu Yifei", and Vista is graceful and luxurious "Sister Furong".

Microsoft's huge size for Vista is explained by the fact that we have built in millions of hardware drivers for Vista users, and because of the upgrade of the system kernel, we must consider the compatibility of the old kernel. This has led to a surge in volume.

So for Vista's successor, a new generation of Microsoft Windows system & mdash; — Windows7, what is its size? Wouldn't it be as bloated as Vista? Of course not, Microsoft has learned a lot of lessons in the early stages of development, and the improvement is great. A 2G notebook, after installing Windows 7 Ultimate, takes up about 9GB, which is 3GB smaller than Vista.

Of course, what we said today is to slim down the Windows 7 system. It is not the use of other third-party optimization masters. In the Windows 7 era, I suggest that you give up these so-called optimization masters. What is the secret to reducing the system by 3GB? Let's see if it can be achieved!

How to slim down Windows 7 system?

1, remove the virtual memory file to the non-system disk

As we all know, in order to speed up the system, Windows provides a virtual memory mechanism, and in Windows 7, the default is to open this Functional, and virtual memory files are on the system disk. For example, a 2G memory machine, the virtual memory file size is 2G, we can completely remove him, leaving room for the system disk.

Specific setup process:

In the first step, right click on My Computer on the desktop and select Properties. You will see the system about the interface, in the upper left corner of the window, the Advanced System settings.

Step 2: Select the first setting button in the settings window of the new popup window. Go to the Performance setting and select the Change button at the bottom of the Advanced tab to enter the interface for setting virtual memory.

Step 3: First remove the checkmark in the first checkbox so that we can modify the size and position of the virtual memory ourselves. Select the system partition in the disk list, select No paging file, click the set button next to it, then select the non-system partition, select System managed size below, and click the set button. If a dialog box appears in the middle, please select OK.

2, turn off the hibernation function, save memory size disk space

Please note this "sleep" & rdquo; non & ldquo; sleep & rdquo; function! General notebook users may apply to it. Hibernate is to write all the data in the memory to the hard disk, then shut down the system, the data will be written back to the memory when the next boot is turned on. The advantage of this is that your work is being saved, even if it is saved, even if it is It doesn't disappear after power failure, which is why people often say that they don't need to shut down for a few months.

Most people don't use this feature often, but we pay for it the same amount of disk space as memory, thanks to it! In fact, we can start it when we need it, and usually close it directly.

How to turn the hibernation function on and off:

Copy the code below, paste it into Notepad, and save the file as “ Close Hibernate.bat”

@powercfg -h off

Copy the code below, paste it into Notepad, and save the file as “open hibernate.bat”

@powercfg -h on

When we want to turn off and turn on hibernation, just run the above two bat files as an administrator.

3, compressing files, saving 1G space

In the Windows folder, there is such a mysterious folder, its name is called Winsxs, its volume will probably be 3G. There are a lot of things inside, it is best not to delete them indiscriminately! But we can also squeeze out 1G space from it!

Specific steps:

First we have to add a new option to the right-click menu "Administrator Takes Ownership". The method is simple, and you can get it by installing an optimization software called Vista Manager. Right-click on the winsxs folder just mentioned and select our new "admin get ownership". This way we can make property changes to this folder. After those crazy pop-up CMD windows disappear, we right-click again to select the properties of this folder, select Advanced.. below. Button, press Compress contents to save disk space below, and check the box in front.
Select compressed storage

Click OK to confirm, the process of compressing the file begins, there may be some files in the process that are in use, we can choose to ignore all (ignore all), it may last for about 20 minutes Time, the results are as follows:
