WIN system maintenance method introduction and guidance

computer shop news WIN system he has some maintenance tools, but we usually rely on these tools to solve this problem alone, it seems difficult, then we need to make this time It’s a must-have skill, or our computer is broken, isn’t it, haha, the younger brother has several good methods for everyone to learn and use today. First, use the Windows built-in maintenance tools Windows itself provides a simple and practical system maintenance tools. In the recent Windows 2000, this aspect has been done very well. At present, the most widely used Windows 98, it is still relatively fragile, the system itself is not perfect for file protection, but the system still provides some maintenance tools, as shown in Table 1. Most of these programs can be found in "Accessories", and they are relatively simple to use, so I won't say much here. Using these tools to maintain the system, there are the following experiences: 1. Learn to set up various items in the control panel. There are many setting items in the control panel, including various hardware settings, input/output environment settings, applications and System component installation and uninstallation, hardware device addition and uninstallation, user management, system font, system operation configuration settings, system management settings, Internet access and control settings, etc., can be said that this is the bridge between ordinary users and the underlying kernel of the system. 2. Familiar with the hardware configuration of your own machine, such as the brand of each major component, the chip model used, the bus speed and characteristics, and various supported drivers, etc., should have a general understanding. In addition, it is best to save the various device driver disks in a separate category for future system error recovery. 3. Regularly back up the system registry Windows registry saves all the settings required for system startup and operation. If the registry is damaged, the system will fail or even start. And with the constant installation and removal of programs, the Windows registry will become larger and larger, so that the system will run slower. The backup of the registry is actually very simple. In the Windows installation path, there are two files with hidden attributes "System.dat" and "User.dat", copy them to a safe place. When restoring, you can copy the backed up files to the Windows path and overwrite the file with the same name. 4. Do a good job of file backup These files include system favorites, ICQ user list, mail, address book, important files, etc. Once lost, there is almost no possibility of recovery. Backing up favorites and mail, address books, the software itself provides this functionality. File Backup It is recommended to choose a useful backup tool, such as SecondCopy 2000, and set it to run as a scheduled task. 5. Scanning Disks and Optimizing Disks Periodically Scanning disks and defragmenting disk fragments is the most common and most common disk maintenance operation. Run the ScanDisk and Disk Defragmenter in the attached file, select the disk drive you want to organize, and then confirm. 6. Clean up the useless files on the disk In addition to deleting all kinds of useless files installed, use Windows' own disk cleaner to quickly and effectively erase unnecessary files in each path of the hard disk. Run the Disk Cleanup program and select the drive you want to clean in the associated dialog. After the determination, the program starts scanning, and then the scan result is given. Select the object to be deleted according to your needs, and then click the “OK” button. 7. Use "System Restore" to quickly restore system settings In the latest Windows Me add-on, a very useful system maintenance tool —— system restore is provided. Use this tool to cancel unwanted changes to your computer and restore settings. In addition, the system restore provided by Windows Me is reversible, and you can recover any changes made to the system with System Restore. After Windows Me is installed on the system, the program will automatically create a corresponding restore point (called system checkpoint), and users can also create their own restore points according to their own usage. This allows the system to be completely restored using restore points in the event of a system failure. 8. Others Daily use must also be noted that this is actually the most important maintenance method to ensure safe and smooth operation of the system. If your machine has unknown compatibility issues, try upgrading it by upgrading your device drivers or even upgrading your motherboard or graphics card's BIOS. Second, the use of specialized tools to maintain the system In addition to the system maintenance tools provided by Windows, various software companies have also introduced tools based on system maintenance, they usually provide more system functions than the operating system, more powerful system maintenance tools (otherwise how Someone bought it, huh, huh). Among them are commercial software, shareware and free software. Of course, the best use of commercial software, such as Norton System Work 2000. Shareware generally has a single function, but there are also powerful ones, such as WinRescue 2000 for system registry maintenance, SafeClean Utilities 3.0 for clearing system junk files, and O&O CleverCache for Windows cache management tools. 1. Use Norton System Work 2000 to maintain the system http:∥www.symantec.com In terms of system maintenance, Norton System Work 2000 is undoubtedly the best (Note: 2001 version already exists, but the function changes little). The tool includes PC system maintenance tool Norton Utilities, Windows maintenance tool Norton CleanSweep, system crash prevention tool Norton CrashGuard, system virus protection tool Norton AntiVirus, hard disk cloning tool Ghost, network service tool Norton Web Services and so on. Among the above tools, Norton Utilities is undoubtedly the best PC system maintenance tool available today. It provides functions such as: system diagnostics, detecting and repairing potential errors in the system, optimizing the system, enhancing system performance, and testing system performance. Maintenance of the normal operation of the system, etc., can be said that the various problems that may be encountered in the current Windows environment, the tool provides a solution. Another feature of this tool is that it is quite convenient to use, all using Wizard's operation mode, even if you are a beginner, you can easily complete all operations. Security considerations are also very thoughtful, if you feel that the scanning effect of the program is not good, you can easily restore the system to the way it was before the repair.
