In order to ensure the normal operation of Windows, please make sure that these files are not enough. For this reason, as the system's usage time continues to increase, the size of the winsxs folder will become larger, and it will gradually become a piece of "clam meat"! For the system disk space is not very wealthy friends, this is fast "It will inevitably slow down the system." If for this reason only, re-partition the hard disk to make the system disk space bigger, and then reinstall the system, this is really too much trouble! In fact, we can take an easier way to winsxs this A piece of "clam meat" is thrown into the other hard disk partitions, making more unused space for the system disk and allowing the system to run faster.

first step: establish the link. First download "PendMoves and MoveFile" from the official, and then extract the downloaded ZIP format compression package named "PendMoves" to the "X:WindowsSystem32" directory (X is the system disk, the same below); then click the menu "Start - Run", then go to Cmd in the pop-up "Run" dialog box and press the "Ctrl+Shift+Enter" shortcut to run Cmd as administrator and open the "Command Prompt" window; the cursor at the last window is executed in turn. the following two commands (each command input must press the enter key a, the same below)

complete folder and file renaming work, then restart the system, then" X: winsxs "directory" Windows Copy all the contents of the .moved folder to the "Windows, winsxs" directory of a hard disk partition outside the system disk (such as "D: Windowswinsxs").
Step four: associate and delete "winsxs.moved" folder. Once again as an administrator to run Cmd, and then executed at the cursor turn the following three commands:
cd Windows
rmdirwinsxs
mklink /XwinsxsD:? Windowswinsxs
< BR> The meaning of the last two DOS commands is: delete the link named "winsxs" in the "X:Windows" directory, and then create a new link with the same name, pointing to the "D:Windowswinsxs" directory.
completion point: After you create a job "D windowswinsxs" new link directory called "winsxs", and then reboot the system again, and finally entitled: "winsxs.moved" under the "X Windows" directory The folder can be deleted.
