Xp system manual optimization No software assistance

Many users trust the system optimization software, which can be easily optimized with one button. But what if you don't have those system optimization software? How to optimize it? Let Xiaobian introduce to you how to optimize XP system by yourself.

First, remove the "garbage" in the taskbar; background program

First look at the current resources available in the system: My Computer -> Control Panel -> System, select Performance, by "system resources" can be seen in the current system usage. Just boot, before running any program, this percentage is more than 90% to show that your system optimization is quite good, not occupied by some background garbage programs.

If it's a boot, the percentage is less than 50%, then your system's resources are wasted. Open a few more windows, run a few programs, your system will enter and unstable state, it will take course to crash and automatically restart.

Although there are many system optimization softwares that can automatically optimize the system, it generally requires direct operation of the registry, which inevitably has certain risks. In addition, the system can no longer be started! Things, or do yourself more.

First look at the taskbar at the bottom right of the screen. There are several background tasks that are consuming system resources, and many of these programs are used less.

RealPlayer's StartCenter, Winamp Agent, Super Solution's automatic diagnostic test and other background programs, although claiming to speed up the startup speed of their own programs, and provide automatic monitoring of open file related functions, but the actual use and Not significant, but it takes up a lot of system resources. It is recommended to keep only some of the necessary background programs, such as firewalls, anti-virus walls, and so on.

How do I close some programs that I have and do not need? First look at: Start -> Programs -> Start, everything inside can be deleted, especially like "some" Office startup & rdquo;, & ldquo; file retrieval & rdquo; and other resources-consuming programs.

Many of the daemons in the taskbar are not launched this way. To delete them, the registry is processed. The registry is an important place for the Windows system series to store system hardware and software configuration information. Improper operation can lead to catastrophic consequences. Fortunately, Windows itself provides an application that can perform safe operations on projects involved in startup, that is, "system configuration use program". It can be started by: Start->Run, enter “msconfig”, OK.

There are six tabs for "General", "Config.sys", "Autoexec.bat", "System.ini", "Win.ini", and "Start". We also need to deal with the three tabs "Config.sys", "Autoexec.bat", and "Start". In fact, the items in Config.sys and Autoexec.bat (www.xitongzhijia.net) can be unchecked, that is, all the hooks are removed. Restart, and then look at the available resources of the system, there will be a big change.

There are some special background programs that can't be handled by this method. For example, RealPlayer's StartCenter, although you can remove the option in the "Start" folder, but will automatically join a line after restarting. To get rid of it, you need to configure it in its running program.

Second, improve the performance of the file system

Set the machine file system as a network server, which can make Windows use more memory for disk read-ahead (including CD). But Windows does not take up the memory required by its applications, but automatically adapts to the memory needs of various applications.

Here's how: My Computer -> Control Panel -> System, select the Performance tab and click the File System button, select Netowrk Sever from the drop-down list. Then confirm. After the restart, the setting will take effect.

Third, open the file system DMA mode

This feature is for the hard disk and optical drive direct memory access (DMA, Direct Memory Access abbreviation) to maximize system performance, because now The biggest bottleneck of a personal computer is on the input and output of the disk. DMA allows the PC to directly access the data on the hard drive, but does not take up too much CPU time (compared to PIO mode), so that your CPU can perform other tasks,

The specific approach is as follows: My Computer -> Control Panel -> System, select the "Device Manager" tab, expand the hard disk controller or CDROM item, select the corresponding drive device in the deployment, click "properties", then select "ld" ;Set ” and select the DMA checkbox, you can reboot after rebooting. The following figure shows the interface for selecting the DMA mode for the CDROM.

Of course, you should use DMA mode, your CDROM and hard disk must support the corresponding functions. If your CDROM and hard drive are too old, you may not be able to enjoy the superiority of this feature.

Fourth, defragmenting the disk

Windows9x series uses the FAT file system, due to the form of the link table, at the beginning of the file, each sector is continuously stored, but with With more file creation, deletion, etc., newly created files are distributed over discrete disk sectors with sectors and/or empty sectors of other files distributed in the middle. As more file operations progress, the discrete empty sectors are more scattered, which is called disk fragmentation. Defragmenting the disk is to process the file and so on, so that the file is continuously stored in sectors, so that the blank sectors are grouped together, which reduces the time for the head to move and locate when the system reads and writes files, thereby improving the reading and writing time of the file.

Although Windows also provides a "disk defragmenter" to defragment the disk, but the algorithm of this program is quite stupid, not only time-consuming, but also quite easy to appear many disks after finishing Fragmentation.

There are many third-party disk defragmentation tools available, such as Norton's peed Disk, which is fast and efficient. It is also recommended to turn off any windows and background programs, such as anti-virus software, network firewall, etc. when defragmenting the disk. Because these daemons read and write to the disk from time to time. When the defragmenter detects that there is a disk read or write operation, it will restart the defragmentation.

Do it yourself to optimize the XP system, and improve the understanding of the XP system at the same time of optimization. After the above-mentioned operations, I believe that your system will be more optimized, and hurry up.
