Windows system performance optimization method

Because of its many superior features, Windows XP has become the preferred operating system for notebook users. Its compatibility with a variety of external interfaces, its own driver including standard interfaces such as USB1.1, IEEE1394, PCMCIA is one of its advantages. .

But for many laptop users, especially primarily commercial purposes, there are a lot of the interface is actually rarely used, the author, for example, is the most used Ethernet interface, The infrared interface was rarely tested, and the PCMCIA interface and the 1394 interface were not used at all.

The "interface" we refer to is essentially a device. In order for these devices to work in the operating system, you first need to load the drivers, take up system resources, and secondly consume power. But if you don't need it, are these costs in vain? For a PC, the power consumption of several interfaces is negligible, but for a notebook it can save you.

To turn off devices that will not be used for a while, it is most convenient to operate in the device manager. Here we can "deactivate" the parallel port, serial port, floppy disk interface and 1394, which are not commonly used. Infrared interface and so on. Just a little bit, we can shield the sound card when we don't listen to the songs - this is not too much, the notebook is configured with AC`97 "soft" sound card that requires CPU service, and its resource occupancy rate is not counted when sounding. small.

To achieve the shutdown of some devices as described above, make adjustments in the BIOS more thoroughly; but through the device manager to operate, one is simple and convenient when shutting down, the two need to be re-enabled More convenient, even restarting Windows is free.

Closing some unnecessary system services is also a common method of squeezing the last system performance. Some services are directly connected to the interface device, such as the Infrared Monitor and Smart Card used to display the infrared connection status. service. The former is used to display the status of the infrared device connection, and the latter is used to manage the smart card, so that some services actually do not have much practical effect. We can save the system resources by setting its startup property to "manual".

There are also services such as Messenger, RPC, and Remote Registry that are of little use, but are the most vulnerable, and are also set to "manual" mode early.
