Although it is already the world of windows xp/2003, but we know that windows itself is a very open and very fragile system, a slight use may cause system damage Even oh. And if the installation and uninstallation of the application frequently occurs, the system will run slower, the system application conflict will increase significantly, and so on. The end result of these problems is that you have to reinstall windows.
Even windows98, also did not provide a very comprehensive system maintenance and optimization, it provides "Maintenance Wizard" feature is too limited. In addition, the system does not provide management functions for the registry control system settings. It would be very tricky for the users to deal with the various system problems that occur frequently. Based on the experience in practice, I recommend several ways to help ordinary users maintain windows.
1. Defragmentation and disk file scanning
This is the simplest, most direct way to regular disk. In general, you can use the "disk defragmentation" and "disk scanner" provided by the windows system itself to optimize the disk files. Both tools are very simple. If you are a user with a certain understanding of the windows system, it is recommended that you use the norton disk doctor and norton speed disk provided by norton utilities 3.05. This is the latest disk maintenance tool introduced by symantec in 1998. Its remarkable feature is running. Fast and powerful. It is commendable that the disk defragmentation speed of Norton Speed Disk is ten times faster than that of Windows built-in tools, and the program provides a lot of optimization control, which is a very worthwhile tool. The use of these two tools is very simple, you only need to select the drive that needs to be scanned or optimized, and execute the commands in the corresponding program interface to start the operation. In addition, in addition to optimization and error scanning of disk file arrangement. We can also use the "Disk Cleanup Tool" provided by Windows itself or the space wizard provided by norton utilities to scan various unwanted files on the disk. They can safely delete temporary files, useless files, backup files, etc. stored in each path of the system, completely freeing up disk space.
2.
maintain the system registry We know, windows registry is the control system startup, the bottom is set to run, the file is system.dat and user.dat under the windows installation path. These two files do not display the system settings in plain text, and ordinary users cannot modify them at all. And we know that if you install/uninstall applications frequently, the settings added by these applications in the system registry are usually not completely deleted. After a long time, the registry will become very large and the system will run faster. affected. At present, there are many automatic debugging, compression and optimization tools for the Windows registry that are popular in the market. It can be said that the windows doctor provided by Norton utilities is the best, it not only provides a powerful automatic detection of system registry error settings. Features, but also provides automatic repair. With this tool, even if you don't know anything about the system registry, you can do it very easily, because you can complete the system error repair by simply clicking the "next" button in the program interface with the mouse.
3. Regularly back up the system registry
the system registry windows system backup is to ensure stable operation, maintenance system, the system of the easiest and most effective way to recover. We know that the system's registry information is stored in the windows folder, and its file names are system.dat and user.dat. These two files have implicit and system properties. Now you need to do a backup of these two files. You can use regedit's export function to copy these two files directly to the backup file path. When the system fails, you will The backup file is directed to the windows path, and the source file can be overwritten to restore the system. In addition, if you are using windows98, you can use the scanreg.exe provided by it to perform system backup and recovery, which is simpler. You can quickly back up the current system registry by typing scanreg/backup directly at the dos prompt. When you need to restore the registry, you can press the scanreg/restore button at the dos prompt. For this tool, it should be used in the dos environment.
4. Useless dll file
under clean-up system path that maintenance work it may not be familiar, but it is also a crucial factor in the system can quickly run impact. We know that after the application is installed in Windows, some dll files are usually copied in the system folder under the Windows installation path. When you delete the corresponding application, some of the dll files are usually retained; when the dll file in the path increases, it will greatly affect the overall speed of the system. For ordinary users, it is very difficult to manually delete dll files.
view of this situation, it is recommended to use clean system automatically dll file scanning, removal tool, this tool's download site is www. Ozemail.com.au/kevsol/sware.html, you only need to select the drive to scan in the program interface, then click the "start scanning" button in the interface, the program will automatically analyze the files on the corresponding disk and The association of the dll file under the system path, and then give a list of dll files that are not associated with all files. At this point, you can click the ok button in the interface to delete and automatically back up. It has been used to safely delete 7m dll files, which does not cause application errors in the system, and the effect is very good.
5. Use anti-crash system tools to maintain system stability
This is another way to maintain the system, when your system unstable phenomenon and you do not know the cause of the problem, do not want to reinstall windows, you can use This tool is used to maintain system stability. This approach protects your application at critical moments, saving data that is temporarily stored in system memory to disk, and is often useful when you are about to complete a design or create a work. At present, there are many tools in this area. After comparison, it is felt that the crushguard provided by Norton has done a good job in application crash recovery. It provides rich functions, simple operation mode, high degree of automation, and good recovery effect. In particular, the program can automatically monitor the current running application of the system, and then automatically start when the crash occurs. The user only needs to click the anti in the mouse dialog box. The -freeze button restores the app, which is very easy to use and is recommended to use it. In addition, there is a tool for bomb shelter in nuts & bolts, which is also a good anti-application crash tool. The feature of this tool is very small, and its recovery is also good.
