C disk space release 27 strokes! Use Vista without XP

Today, I mainly talk about the Windows operating system. In the case of insufficient C disk space, we can increase the C disk space through those specific means.

1. Open "My Computer" - "Tools" - "Folder Options" - "View" - check the "Show all files and folders" option - "OK".

2. Delete the contents of the following folder:
x:Documents and Settings Username Cookies all files (retain index file)
x:Documents and Settings username under Local SettingsTemp All files (user temporary files)
x:Documents and Settings user name LocalSettingsTemporaryInternet Files all files (page files)
x:Documents and Settings user name Local SettingsHistory all files (history)
x:Documents and Settings all files under the user name Recent (shortcuts for browsing files recently)
x: all files under WINDOWSTemp (temporary files)
x:WINDOWSServicePackFiles (upgrading files after sp1 or sp2)
x: WINDOWSDriver Cachei386 compressed file (driver backup file)
x: WINDOWSSoftwareDistributiondownload under all files

3. If the system has been windoes updade upgrade, delete the following files:
x: hidden files starting with $u... under windows

4. Then defragment the disk and quit all running programs during the defragmentation process.

5. Open the "Start" - "Programs" - "Accessories" - "System Tools" - "System Restore" - "Create a Restore Point" (preferably with the current date as a restore point) name) .

6. Open "My Computer" - right click on the system disk - "Properties" - "Disk Cleanup" - "Other Options" - click "Clean" in the System Restore column - select "Yes" -ok.

7, after the installation of various software and hardware, in fact, XP needs to update the file when there are very few. Delete the system backup file: Start → Run → sfc.exe /purgecache nearly 3xxM. (The purpose of this command is to immediately clear the "Windows File Protection" file cache, freeing up the space it occupies)

8. Delete the dll file under /windows/system32/dllcache (minus 200 - 300mb), this is the alternate dll file, as long as you have copied the installation file, you can do so.

9, XP will automatically back up the hardware driver, but after the hardware driver is installed correctly, it is generally not possible to change the hardware, so you can also consider deleting this backup, the file is located in /windows/driver In the cache/i386 directory, the name is driver.cab, you can delete it directly, usually this file is 74M.

10, delete the input method: For many users, the input method of Windows XPt system is not all suitable for their own use, such as IMJP8_1 Japanese input method, IMKR6_1 Korean input method If you don't need it, we can remove it. The input method is located in the /windows/ime/folder, which takes up 88M of space.

11, upgrade completed Windows/many more like $NtUninstallQ311889$ these directories, do it, 1x-3xM

12, in addition, keep the /windows/help directory It hurts me, huh, huh. . . Get rid of it!

13. Turn off system restore: The system restore function takes a long time and takes up a lot of hard disk space. Therefore, it is necessary to manually set it to reduce the amount of hard disk usage. Open the System Properties dialog, select the System Restore option, and select the Turn off system restore on all drives check box to turn off System Restore. You can also set restores only on the disk or partition where the system is located. First select the partition where the system is located, click the "Configure" button, in the pop-up dialog box, cancel the "Close the system restore of this drive" option, and set the amount of disk space for system restore.

14, the hibernation function will take up a lot of hard disk space, if you use less, you can close it, the way to close is: open the "Control Panel", double-click "Power Options", the "Power" pops up In the Options Properties dialog box, select the Hibernate tab and deselect the Enable Hibernate check box.

15. Uninstalling Unused Components: XP installs some system components to the operating system by default, and a large part of these components are not available to you at all. You can add or remove Windows components. Unload them.

But some of the components XP are hidden by default. They can't be found in "Add/Remove Windows Components". You can do this by opening /windows/inf/sysoc.inf with Notepad. File, use the Find/Replace function to replace all the "hide" characters in the file with null. In this way, the hidden attributes of all components are removed. After saving and exiting the "Add-Remove Programs", you will see a lot of options that you could not see, and delete those components that you can't use. (Remember to save as sysoc.inf when saving, instead of the default sysoc.txt), such as Internat messenger service, fax service, Windows messenger, code table, etc., about vacating nearly 50MB of space.

16, clear the system temporary files: the system's temporary files are generally stored in two locations: a Temp folder in the Windows installation directory; the other is x: /Documents and Settings "username" /Local Settings/Temp folder (Y: is the partition where the system is located). Files in both locations can be deleted directly.

17. Clear Temporary Internet Files: Regularly delete a large number of temporary Internet files generated during Internet access, which will save a lot of hard disk space. Open Internet Explorer, select "Internet Options" from the "Tools" menu, select the "General" tab in the pop-up dialog box, click the "Delete Files" button in the "Temporary Internet Files" column, and pop up " In the Delete File dialog box, select the "Delete all offline content" check box and click the "OK" button.

18, clear pre-read files: Windows XP pre-read settings can improve the system speed, but after using for a period of time, the number of files in the pre-read folder will become quite large, resulting in system search costs Time is getting longer. Moreover, some applications generate dead link files, which further burdens the system search. Therefore, these read-ahead files should be deleted periodically. It is expected that the files will be stored in the Prefetch folder of the Windows XP system folder, and all files under this folder can be deleted.

19, compressed NTFS drive, file or folder: If your hard disk is using NTFS file system, space 翟诮粽  梢 梢 悸瞧粲肗 悸瞧粲肗 悸瞧粲肗 TFS compression function. Right-click the drive you want to compress - "Properties" - "General" - "Compress Disk to save disk space", then click "OK", select the desired option in "Confirm Property Changes".

23, close the error report: When the application error occurs, a window to send an error report will pop up. In fact, such an error report has almost no meaning to the average user.
