From the XP era, there are similar technical articles on the Internet. Let's revisit today and see how users under Win7 and Vista should optimize the switch. Machine speed.
As for the optimization of the Windows operating system, there will be a super-complete article, which is more than the one that was sent to the Vista home that year. Of course, everything is technical discussion, and everyone will dialectically. After all, it is mixed with some personal opinions of soft media editing. Take the essence, go to the dregs :)
Start to enter the topic of this article, how to speed up the on/off of Win7/Vista/XP system by optimizing the read-ahead file settings. Here, considering XP, Vista and Win7 and all users under Win2003 and Win2008, we choose to use Rubik's cube as an example. Of course, the Vista system uses Vista optimization master, Win7 system with Windows7 optimization master is also a good choice.
First, the pre-read program is prohibited from generating an index file. The pre-read file may cause the system to start slowing down because it is caused by reading the index file generated when the program is run. Therefore, we only need to ban the generation of those PF files.
Open the Rubik's Cube, click on "System Optimization", "Service Optimization", find the "Superfetch" service and check it, click on the stop below and set it to manual, OK, so that the Superfetch service is completely disabled, XP system below The service name is Prefetch, everyone pays attention to it.
Second, only read the system file
In fact, in the "grab the contents of the Prefetch read-ahead file in Win7/Vista/XP" we mentioned that it is best not to close this Prefetching services, we can choose to set them instead of all.
Because Prefetch saves the index information of the system and application, from the perspective of improving the startup speed, it reminds everyone that only the system file can be set to read, and the index file reading process of the application is skipped.
To do this, we can run "regedit" and open the registry editor, select
HKEY_LOCAL_MacHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/Session Manager/Memory Management/PrefetchParameters
double-click "EnablePrefetcher" on the right side. You can see that the value is 3, that is, read system files and applications, we can change it to 2, that is, only pre-read Windows system files. In this way, the Windows system only pre-reads the system files after it is started again.
Three, shut down automatically clear the pre-read file
We can also automatically clear the contents of the pre-read folder by shutting down, in order to speed up the next boot speed.
Open Notepad and enter
del %systemroot%/Prefetch/*.* /q
to save the file as a del.bat file.
Next, open the "Run" window, enter gpedit.msc and press Enter to open the Group Policy Editor, select "Computer Configuration - Windows Settings - Script", double-click the "Shutdown" item on the right, in the window that opens. Click the "Add" button to add the del.bat file. In this way, when the system is shut down, the group policy will call del.bat in the background and run the commands to clear the contents of the pre-read folder, thus improving the speed of the next startup.
Through the above operation, I believe that the pre-reading file will play its original function and will no longer become an obstacle to booting.
