Let your love machine run like a fly

1. Optimize your system settings

Accelerate the display speed of your "Start Menu"

First, click here to get Microsoft Powertoy 'TweakUI'. With TweakUI you can adjust the display speed of the "Star Menu" to reduce the dead time of the display. Of course, don't forget to restart your system after modification so that you can see the effect. All of this can also be done by manually modifying the registry with RegEdit, but this is too complicated and unsafe for beginners.

Change the main purpose of this computer - Network Server

If your system has 64MB of memory, you should set the main purpose of your computer as a web server, right click " "My computer", click Properties, then click "File System" in the "Performance" column, and set "Main use of this computer" as the network server in the "Hard Disk" item.

Speed ​​up your system to restart

Add 'BootDelay=0' to the [Options] section of C:msdos.sys. You need to change the file attributes of msdos.sys before editing. The specific method is: c:attribe msdos.sys -s -r -h Enter.

Release memory in DOS Windows

Add 'LocalLoadHigh=1' to the [386Enh] section of the system.ini file.

Delete DriveSpace

If you don't use DoubleSpace or DriveSpace, delete 'drvspace.bin' and 'dblspace.bin' in C: and C:Winodws directories, this will release the extra DOS memory and speed up the startup of the system.

2, free hard disk space

Delete animation help file

If you know how to do some extremely simple window operations, such as: scroll window, minimize window and paste copy Wait, you can free up about 7.1MB of hard drive space by deleting the *.avi file located in the C:windowshelp directory.

Delete unrelated or obsolete files

You can safely delete the following files located in the root directory: *.txt, *.prv, *.log, *.old, *.___, And *.dos (except for dual system initiators). You can also delete the files located in the Windows directory: *.log, *.old, *.___, *.bak, and, *.000, *.001, etc. Wait. They are useless, delete it.

3. Optimize your hard disk and settings

Remove hard disk fragmentation

Because of opening files, modifying files, and writing back files to the hard disk, the files become fragmented over time. This means that the computer needs to go to various parts of the hard disk to find the relevant part of the file when running the program. In order to speed up your system, you should run it regularly in the "Start Menu" /"Programs" /"Accessories" /" "Disk Defragmenter" in System Tools

Virtual Memory

Although Windows 95/98 recommends that you manage virtual memory for you to get the best performance, but because of I adjust the memory I need, so sometimes I only hear the hard disk mad, but the machine does not move. Setting the virtual memory to a fixed value can prevent the above problems, but it will bring you unexpected effects:

1, first run the "Disk Defragmenter" to defragment the hard disk.

2, right click on "My Computer" and select "Properties".

3. Select the "Performance" tab and click on "Virtual Memory".

4. Select the drive letter you want to place the exchange file for.

5. Set the maximum and minimum values ​​to the same size. If you have less than 16MB of memory and you want to work in a 24-bit environment, you should set this value to 2.5 times your memory.

6. Click "OK" twice and restart your computer.

Virtual Cache

This setting prevents the virtual cache from running out of memory (RAM) because it is running the application.

1, open 'System.ini' with Notepad or Wordpad.

2, find the [vcache] item, add the following two lines here:

MinFileCache=0
MaxFileCache=4000

< BR>3, restart Windows 95/98
