Improve Win XP running speed by one hundred and nine tips

  
                

During the process of using XP, the system running speed will become slower and slower over time. Some friends may think of reinstalling the system, but after reinstalling, so many applications should be reinstalled. How to improve the running speed of XP without installing the system? As long as you operate in the following nine aspects, I believe that your XP will run again at high speed.


1. Reduce the load of the project at startup

Many applications will add their own claims to the system startup group during installation, and each time the system is started, it will automatically run. The startup time is extended, and the system resources have been consumed after the startup is completed!

Start “System Configuration Utility", listed in the "Startup" item, the project and source loaded at system startup, carefully check if you need it to load automatically, otherwise clear the project before Checkboxes, the fewer items loaded, the faster the startup will naturally be. This item needs to be restarted to take effect.


2, speed up the switch speed

When shutting down in Windows XP, the system will send a message to the running program and the remote server, tell them to shut down the system, and wait The system only shuts down after receiving a response. To speed up the boot process, you can first set the auto-end task. First find HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelDesktop, set the AutoEndTasks key to 1; then there is a "HungAppTimeout" under the branch, and change its value to "4000" (or less). ), the default is 50000; finally find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetControl, also set WaitToKillServiceTimeout to “4000”; By setting the shutdown speed significantly faster.


3, improve broadband speed

Professional version of Windows XP retains 20% of the bandwidth by default, in fact, this has no effect for our individual users. In particular, let it be used as well as it is fully utilized.

Enter gpedit.msc in "Start →Run" to open the Group Policy Editor. Find & ldquo; Computer Configuration & Rarr; Management Template & Rarr; Network & Rarr; QoS Packet Scheduler & rdquo;, select the right side of the "restricted bandwidth can be reserved", select "properties" & rdquo; open the limit can retain the bandwidth properties dialog box, select “Enable ”, and change the original “20” to “0”, thus releasing the reserved bandwidth.


4, Optimize My Network Places

When Windows XP Network Neighborhood is used, the system will search for its own shared directory and printers that can be used as network shares, as well as scheduled tasks and networks. The related planning tasks are then displayed, so the speed is obviously much slower. These features can be removed if they are not very useful for us. Find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINEsofewareMicrosoftWindowsCurrent VersionExploreRemoteComputerNameSpace in the Registry Editor, delete the (printer) and {D6277990-4C6A-11CF8D87- 00AA0060F5BF} (scheduled tasks), restart the computer, visit Network Neighborhood again, you will find a lot faster.


5, speed up the startup

To speed up the startup speed of Windows XP. You can do this by modifying the registry. In the Registry Editor, find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession ManagerMemory ManagementPrefetchParameters, find the EnablePrefetcher primary key on the right, and change its default value of 3 to 1, so that the scroll bar scroll time will decrease;

6, automatically close the stop response program

Sometimes XP will prompt you that some program stops responding, very annoying, we can let it close by modifying the registry, the character value in HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelDesktop Change the value data of AutoEndTasks to 1, and log out or start again.


7. Speed ​​up menu display

8, clear the DLL file not used in memory

In the registry HKKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersion, add an item AlwaysUnloadDLL in the Explorer, the default value is set to 1. Note: If the default value is set to 0, this function is disabled.


9, speed up read-ahead ability to improve boot speed

Windows XP read-ahead settings can increase system speed and speed up boot. Modify the following method to further improve the efficiency of the CPU: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSessionManagerMemoryManagement], in the right window of PrefetchParameters, change the value data of EnablePrefetcher as follows, if you use the PIII 800MHz CPU or above, change the value data to 4 or 5, otherwise it is recommended to keep The numeric data is the default value of 3.
