. For the novice, the xp system is a system that is difficult to understand. Don't worry, here we will provide some benefits to these novice users and use the experience of xp. The process is shared, for the novices to learn and learn, and jointly feel the powerful functions brought by the xp system.
1, restore the damaged WinXP system files
If the WindowsXP system files are corrupted by viruses or other reasons, we can recover those corrupted files from the Windows XP installation disk.
Specific method: Search for corrupted files in the Windows XP installation disk. Note that the last character of the file name is replaced with the bottom line _. For example, if you want to search for Notepad.exe, you need to use Notepad.ex_. Search.
After searching, open the command line mode (enter cmd in the run), then enter: the full path to the full path object file of the EXPAND source file. For example: EXPANDD: SETUPNOTEPAD.EX_C: WindowsNOTEPAD.EXE. One thing to note is that if there are spaces in the path, you need to include the path in double quotes (quotation marks).
The search is of course the best, but sometimes we can't find the files we need when searching on the Windows XP disk. One reason for this is that the file you are looking for is in the CAB file. Since Windows XP treats CAB as a folder, for Windows XP, just drag and drop the CAB file to the appropriate directory.
If you are using another Windows platform, search for a CAB file containing the target file name. Then open the command line mode and enter: the full path of the EXTRACT/L target location CAB file, for example: EXTRACT/LC: WindowsD: I386Driver.cabNotepad.exe. As before, as if there are spaces in the path, you need to enclose the path in double quotes.
2, refuse to group similar taskbars
Although Windows XP grouping similar taskbar button settings can make your taskbar less open and keep clean, but it is very inconvenient for some work that needs to open multiple windows of the same kind. If you use QQ communication software to chat with people online, if there are more than two friends talking to you at the same time, you will immediately feel the inconvenience caused by the default setting of XP, every time you want to switch the conversation object. You must first click on the group, then select the friends you want to talk in the pop-up menu, and each friend displays the same icon in the group. When there are many conversation objects, you may have to click one by one to see exactly Who replied, waiting for your reaction, and choosing the wrong one, has to choose from the group, it is very troublesome. Obviously, this is not as good as opening a few windows, and clicking on each small window in the taskbar can start chatting. Change method: Click the Start Control Panel Appearance and Theme taskbar and the 'Start' menu. In the pop-up window, remove the hooks in front of the grouping similar taskbar button options.
3, through the registry to uninstall useless dynamic links
resource manager often leaves useless dynamic links in memory, in order to eliminate this phenomenon, you can open the registry editor, set the key value: HKEY_LOCAL_MacHINESOFTWAREmicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionEXPlorerAlwaysUnloadDLL= Dword:1
sets it to 0 and this feature will be turned off. Note: In order for the settings to take effect, you will need to restart your computer.
4, clear pre-read files in the prefetch folder
When WinXP is used for a period of time, the files in the pre-read folder will become very large, there will be dead chain files, which will slow down the system time. . Recommendation: Delete these files on a regular basis. (Windowsprefetch)
5, WindowsXP weight loss method
Delete driver backup: Driver.cab file (73MB) under WindowsDrivercachei386 directory, but we must insert the Windows installation CD every time we install new hardware.
Delete system file backup (usually not used): Run the command line sfc/purgecache
Delete the alternate dll file: As long as you copy the installation file or have the installation CD, you can do so. Files under Windowssystem32dllcache (minus 200--300mb).
6, understand WinXP startup time
Although the startup speed of WindowsXP has made us satisfied, but Microsoft still provides us with a gadget to understand the specific startup time of Windows XP startup. As well as viewing cpu usage, DiskI/O, etc., since the tool is graphically displayed, it is clear at a glance. Tools can be downloaded here.
7, recovery EXE file association
EXE file association error is very troublesome, because the occurrence of this situation is mostly caused by the virus, and the main file of the anti-virus software is EXE file, since the EXE file association error, How can I run anti-virus software? Fortunately, XP provides a command line tool in safe mode for us to use, you can use the command line tool to solve this problem.

Now close the command prompt window, press Ctrl+Alt+Del to bring up the Windows security window, press the shutdown button and select the reboot option. After starting Windows in normal mode, all EXE files will run normally!
8, let WinXP automatically update
When Windows has an update, the automatic update system will prompt you to upgrade Windows, of course, this feature will have a real effect after surfing the Internet. One thing to be sure is that in order to achieve automatic updates, the system must collect the user's computer information, and then send it to the Microsoft site, through feedback to decide whether to upgrade. This setting is also in the system property window
port, switch to the automatic update tab, you can see that there are three choices here, select the last one to close the automatic update, so the system will not appear to prompt you to automatically update, if You don't use the genuine
WindowsXP operating system. It is recommended that you turn off this feature, because it may let you upgrade the system to Windows XP SP2 without knowing it, which will cause system instability.
9, install IIS in the Home version
We all know that Windows XP Home version can not install IIS or PWS. According to the general method, you can only upgrade to XPProfessional or use Windows2000, but you can install IIS on WindowsXPHome as long as you use the means.
First enter c:\\Windows\\inf\\sysoc.inf in the start menu, the system will automatically open the sysoc.inf file using Notepad. Find the [Components] section in sysoc.inf and continue to find a line like iis=iis.dll, OcEntry, iis.inf, hide, 7 and replace this line with iis=iis2.dll, OcEntry, iis2. Inf,, 7. Then save and close.
Insert the Windows 2000 Professional CD into the CD-ROM drive and press the Shift key to disable the CD-ROM drive. Enter CMD in the run and press Enter to open the command line mode. Enter the following two commands at the command line and press Enter after each line command (assuming the CD drive is D):
EXPandd:\\i386\\iis .dl_c:\\Windows\\system32\\setup\\iis2.dll
EXPandd:\\i386\\iis.in_c:\\Windows\\inf\\iis2.inf
At this point, open your control panel and click Add to remove the program Icon, then click Add to remove the Windows component.
Please take a closer look. The operating system displayed in the Start menu is Windows XP Home, but after modification, there is already an option to add IIS.
Then you can add IIS by following the method in Windows XP Professional or Windows 2000. In this example, we only installed the WWW service. The system will start copying files, which will take some time. And for this reason, please keep the Windows 2000 Professional CD in the CD-ROM drive.
After the installation is complete, you can open the Control Panel Performance and Options Management tool, and Internet Information Services Management has appeared there.
If you want to verify that IIS is working and IE is open, type http://localhost in the address bar and press Enter. Your IIS will all work.
At the end of the day, if you need to insert WindowWhistlerCD or you need to provide exch_adsiisex.dll during the installation process, it is because you installed IIS by default. To solve this problem, just click on the details when installing IIS, and then cancel the selection of SMTP (ie do not install SMTP server), then the two files will not be needed when copying files.
If you find that the Internet Information Services (IIS) installation project has been displayed after you installed the location, but they cannot be selected at all, it is likely that you are using iis.dl_ and iis.in_ from Removed from Windows XP Professional, as long as you change to Windows 2000 Professional, you can continue to install normally.
