Speaking of registry changes, there is always a saying that must be mentioned: be cautious. You must back up before making changes. One step mistake may make your machine turn your face and not recognize people. In the following description, if the specified location does not have the key/value mentioned here, then you have to create a new one. All values mentioned here are of the REG_DWord type unless otherwise stated.
First, improve the response speed of the XP
find HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelDesktop subkey, modify 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."
two, increase the "Start" sub-menu display speed
menu MenuShowDelay reduced value (position supra). 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.
Third, reduce the delay time browsing the LAN and Windows 2000 as
, XP there are annoying delays when browsing the LAN, but introduces the problem of information is hard to find. If you are browsing a Win 9x machine, for example, typing "\\computername" in the neighborhood's address bar, XP's machine 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, type "\\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.
Fourth, the prohibition of balloon-like pop-up message
find HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerAdvanced sub-key, the hexadecimal value EnableBalloonTips set to 0.
V. Show hidden files
in HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrent VersionExplorerAdvanced sub-key, there are several values affect the display 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.
six, mapped network drives display button
found HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerAdvanced subkey, the MapNetDrvBtn set to 1. The button that maps the network drive will appear on the toolbar of Windows Explorer and My Computer.
seven clean up the "Start" menu
find HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPolicIEsExplorer sub-key, if you want all user files in addition to the "My Documents" folder to clear, then, the NoStartMenuMyMusic, NoSMMyPictures, NoFavoritesMenu and NoRecentDocsMenu are set to 1. If you also want to disable the "My Documents" menu, then set NoSMMyDocs to 1.
Eight, not modify user folder
find 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.
Nine, Clear virtual memory page file operations that modify the registry
shutdown mainly for data security, but little practical significance on many occasions. Locate the HKEY_LOCAL_MacHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession ManagerMemory Management subkey and set ClearPageFileAtShutdown to 1.
X.
run the program in a different memory space to find HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPolicIEsExplorer subkey, the MemCheckBoxInRunDlg set to 1, the "Start" menu "Run dialog box" will add a "standalone Run in memory space" option.
Finally, please don't forget to use the Favorites function 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
