Keep the desktop settings unchanged every time you start: We can protect our desktop settings by modifying the registry. No matter what changes are made, the desktop will be restored as soon as it is restarted. The steps are as follows: Open the registry editor, find the HKEY_CURRENT_USERSSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPolicesExplorer subkey branch, find NoSaveSettings under it, its type is REG_SZ, change its key value to "0", or delete the key value directly, restart the system to make settings Effective. 19, any custom button color: Although Windows XP itself has a variety of window display schemes, but users want to define the color of a certain part, such as changing the color of the button from black to blue or red, then you need to modify the registry The steps are as follows: Open the registry editor, find the HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelColors subkey branch, double-click the Bottontext under it, and change its key value to the value you want in the open dialog box, such as red 255 0 0, Click the "OK" button and restart the system to see the effect, the text color on the button will turn red, you can also modify the width and height of the button and the background parameters. 20, prohibit Dr. Watson's operation: Dr. Watson is the built-in system maintenance tool, it will display when the program fails to load or crash, we can cancel it through the registry, the steps are as follows: open the registry editor, find HKEY_LOCAL_MacHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionAeDebug subkey branch, double-click the Auto key name under it, change its "Value Data" to 0, and finally press F5 to refresh the settings. 21, improve the response speed of XP Find the HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelDesktop subkey, modify the HungAppTimeout value. The HungAppTimeout value indicates the time limit for the system to manually end the suspended task. The default value is 5000 and the type is REG_SZ. Decreasing the value can reduce the response delay of the system under certain special conditions. For example, you can set the value to 1000. . When adjusting this key value, you should be aware that if some software runs slowly on your system, setting the key value too small may cause XP to mistakenly believe that the running software has been suspended. If this happens, you can gradually increase the HungAPPTimeout value by 1000 each time until XP no longer mistakes the running software for "stopping response." 22. Increase the display speed of the submenu of the “Start” menu. Decrease the MenuShowDelay value (the position is the same as above). The value type is REG_SZ, which defaults to 400 and can be set to 50. If this value is set too small, such as 0, the submenu will be displayed immediately when the mouse pointer passes the menu, interfering with the user's selection operation. After experimentation, setting it to 50 allows the submenu to appear as soon as possible, and avoids the submenu that pops up quickly to interfere with the line of sight. 23, reduce the delay time to browse the LAN Like Windows 2000, XP also has an annoying delay in browsing the LAN, but the information to introduce this problem is difficult to find. If you are browsing a Win 9x machine, for example, typing "computername" in the address field of the network neighborhood, XP will check the "task plan" on the machine it is connecting to. This search process can cause up to 30 seconds of delay. If you open a shared resource directly, for example, enter "computernameshare" in the address bar of the network neighborhood, there will be no delay. To avoid the XP search "task plan" operation and improve the speed of browsing the network, you can delete the HKEY_LOCAL_MacHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerRemoteComputerNameSpace{D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF} subkey. The type of the key is REG_SZ. 24. Ban balloon-shaped pop-up information Locate the HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerAdvanced subkey and set the hexadecimal value EnableBalloonTips to 0. 25, show hidden files Under the HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrent VersionExplorerAdvanced subkey, there are several values that affect the display of hidden files and folders. To have XP display hidden files and folders, set Hidden to 1. To display the file extension, set HideFileExt to 0. To display the protected operating system file, set ShowSuperHidden to 1. Note: This part of the settings can also be modified via the View tab of the Folder Options dialog. 26. Display the button for mapping the network drive Locate the HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerAdvanced subkey and set MapNetDrvBtn to 1. The button that maps the network drive will appear on the toolbar of Windows Explorer and My Computer. 27. Clean up the Start menu Locate the HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPolicIEsExplorer subkey. If you want to clear all user folders except My Documents, set NoStartMenuMyMusic, NoSMMyPictures, NoFavoritesMenu, and NoRecentDocsMenu to 1. If you also want to disable the "My Documents" menu, then set NoSMMyDocs to 1. 28. Disable modification of user folder Locate HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPolicIEsExplorer. If you want to lock the physical location of the user folders "Picture Collection", "My Documents", "Favorites", "My Music", set the following keys to 1: DisableMyPicturesDirChange, DisablePersonalDirChange, DisableFavoritesDirChange, DisableMyMusicDirChange. 29 Clear virtual memory page file when shutting down This operation of modifying the registry is mainly for data security, but it is of little practical significance in many occasions. Locate the HKEY_LOCAL_MacHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession ManagerMemory Management subkey and set ClearPageFileAtShutdown to 1. 30. Run the program in different memory spaces Locate the HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPolicIEsExplorer subkey and set MemCheckBoxInRunDlg to 1. The "Run Dialog" of the "Start" menu will add a "Run in a separate memory space" option. Finally, please don't forget to use the Favorites feature of the XP Registry Editor. You can mark a location in Regedit with the "Favorites" feature, so you don't have to look for subkeys one level at a time. The specific usage is: run Regedit, find the target key (for example, HKEY_LOCAL_MacHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows), select the subkey to be added to the favorites (for example, CurrentVersion), click the menu "Favorites |
Add to Favorites, give the collection a name that is easy to remember, and click "OK." It is recommended to use a naming scheme that helps you identify the location of the subkeys, such as "HKLM...CurrentVersion", or " HKLMSMSWinCV".
