When we use Windows 7, we will find that its system size is between XP and Vista, but for some people, it is hoped that Windows7 will minimize the system. The following three methods will get you what you want.
Microsoft's huge size for Vista is explained in this way: We have built in millions of hardware drivers for the majority of Vista users, and because of the upgrade of the system kernel, we must consider the compatibility of the old kernel, which leads to The volume has soared.
So for Microsoft's next-generation operating system: Windows7, what is its size? Isn't it as bloated as Vista? Of course, Microsoft has learned a lot from the early days of development, and it has improved a lot. A 2G notebook, after installing Windows7 Ultimate, takes up about 9G, which is 3G smaller than Vista! Today, our Win fighters will share with you, Windows7 will be reduced by 3G” The secret of fat. Are you curious about what is a Win fighter? At the end of the article, we will reveal it!
1. Remove virtual memory files to non-system disks
Everyone knows that in order to speed up the system, Windows provides a virtual memory mechanism. In Windows 7, the default is to enable this feature, and the virtual memory file is in the system disk. For example, a 2G memory machine, the virtual memory file size is 2G, we can completely remove him! There is room for the system disk.
Specific setup process:
First step, right click on My Computer on the desktop and select Properties. You will see the system about the interface, in the upper left corner of the window, the Advanced Systemsettings.
Step 2: In the setting window of the new popup window, select the first setting button. Go to the Performance setting and select the Change button at the bottom of the Advanced tab to enter the interface for setting virtual memory.
Step 3: First remove the checkmark in the first checkbox so that we can modify the size and position of the virtual memory ourselves. Select the system partition in the disk list, select Nopagingfile, click the set button next to it, then select the non-system partition, select Systemmanaged size below, and click the set button. If a dialog box appears in the middle, please select OK.
Two. Turn off the hibernation function, save memory size disk space
Please pay attention to this hibernation non-sleep function! General notebook users may use, hibernation is to write all the memory data to the hard disk, then shut down the system The next time you start the boot, the data you keep will be written back to the memory. The advantage of this is that your ongoing work will be saved, even if it will not disappear after power failure, which is why people often say a few The reason for not having to shut down in the month.
Most people don't use this feature often, but we pay for it the same amount of disk space as the memory, thanks to it! In fact, we can start it when needed, usually shut it down.
The specific method of turning on and off the hibernation function:
Copy the following code, paste it into Notepad, and then save the file to close hibernation.bat
@powercfg-hoff
Copy the following code , paste into Notepad, and then save the file to open hibernation.bat
@powercfg-hon
When we want to turn off and turn on the hibernation function, we only need to run the above two bat files as an administrator. It's very easy!
Three. Compressed files, save 1G space
In the Windows7 folder, there is such a mysterious folder, its name is winsxs, and its volume will probably be 3G. There are a lot of things inside, it is best not to delete them indiscriminately! But we can also squeeze out 1G space from it!
Specific steps:
First we have to add a new option to the right-click menu, & ldquo; Ownership takes ownership. The method is very simple, you can get it by installing an optimization software called VistaManager. Right-click on the winsxs folder just mentioned and select our new "admin get ownership". This way we can make property changes to this folder. After the crazy pop-up CMD window disappears, we right-click again to select the properties of this folder, select the Advanced... button below, and put Compress contentstosavediskspace below (compress the content to save disk space), check the box in front. .
Click OK to confirm, the process of compressing the file begins. During the period, some files may be prompted. We can choose to ignore all (ignore all), which may last for about 20 minutes.
