Easy to learn Windows XP System Optimization Guide

1. Cancel the waiting time before the disk scan When using Windows XP, if you encounter a power outage, a crash, etc., Windows XP will automatically perform a disk scan after restarting the computer. Before performing a disk scan, the system will give a 10-second countdown time for you to choose whether to skip the disk scan. If you don't want the countdown before the disk scan, you can cancel it. Select "Start /All Programs /Accessories /Command Prompt", in the command prompt window, the key "CHKNTFS /T: 0" command, press Enter to change the countdown time before the automatic disk scan to 0 seconds.

2, delete the file backup into the "WindowsSystem32dllcache" directory (the default is hidden directory), which stores about 360MB files, they are WindowsXP system files backup, the folder can not be directly deleted, in the command prompt Enter "sfc.exe/purgecache" (with spaces before the slash) command to delete.

3, delete the driver backup WindowsXP comes with a large number of hardware drivers, WindowsDriverCachei386" directory, find a compressed file named "Driver.cab", delete it.

4, delete Unused input methods There are several input methods that we basically don't need under Windows XP, such as Japanese and Korean input methods, etc. The method of deletion is: enter the "Control Panel Date, Time, Language and Regional Settings Area and Language Selection". Select the "Language" tab, remove the hook in front of "Install files for East Asian languages", click "OK" and delete the unwanted language options as prompted. After restarting, delete "chtime" directly into the "Windowsime" folder. , "imju8_1", "imk6_1" three folders (for traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean), this can release 85MB of hard disk space

5, clear the system temporary files in the "DocumentsandSettings username LocalSettingsTemp" directory The next (the default is the hidden directory) stores the temporary folder and the obsolete document left by the software installation, so that it can be released. Hundreds of megabytes of hard disk space. This method can be used frequently.

6. In the Windows XP, the taskbar "fake death" phenomenon is more common. In addition to installing the official Microsoft patch to solve the problem, you can also close it. Advanced text service to prevent "fake death" in the taskbar (because the advanced text service is enabled, it will consume a lot of system resources, and may also conflict with some software, such as handwriting recognition, Chinese keyboard input, etc.), the specific method is as follows: Br>

Open the "Regional and Language Options" window, select the "Language" tab, click the "Details" button to open the "Text Service and Input Language" window.

7. Every time you start Windows XP, the blue scroll bar will tirelessly walk a few laps. In pursuit of high efficiency, do you really want it to take a few laps? In fact, we can reduce its scrolling time to speed up the startup. Open the Registry Editor and expand HKEY

_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSessionManagerMemoryManagementPrefetchParameters branch, find the EnablePrefetcher subkey in the middle window of the right window, and change its default value "3" to "1".

Next, right-click on the desktop, click "My Computer", select the "Properties" command, select the "Hardware" tab in the window that opens, and click the "Device Manager" button. Expand "IDEATA/ATAP Controller" in the "Device Manager" window, double-click the "Secondary IDE Channel" option, select "Advanced" tab in the pop-up dialog box, "Device Type" in "Device 0" In the middle, the original "automatic detection" is changed to "none", and "ok" is exited. The "main IDE channel" modification method is consistent. Now restart your computer and see if your scroll bar scrolling time is reduced?

Note: Friends who use the VIA chip motherboard must not modify the "VIABUSMASTERIDECONTROLLER" option.

Alternatively, if you have not chosen to create multiple different hardware profiles, or if you want to automatically load the default hardware profile during startup without displaying the list items, you can do so in the "Hardware Profile Selection" section. Enter “0” in “Seconds”. Pressing the space bar when you need to select will display the list.

8. When Windows XP Network Neighborhood is used, the system will first search for its own shared directory and printers that can be used as network shares and scheduled tasks. Network-related scheduled tasks are then displayed, which directly affects the speed of the computer. If it is not necessary, it should be deleted.

The specific steps are as follows: In the registry editor, find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINEsofewareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExploreRemoteComputerNameSpace, delete the {2227A280-3AEA-1069-A2DE08002B30309D} (printer) and {D6277990-4C6A-11CF8D87-00AA0060F5BF} (plan task), Then restart your computer and when you visit My Network Places again, you will see that the speed has increased.

9. When shutting down in Windows XP, the system always sends a message to the running program and the remote server, notifying them that the system should be shut down, and waiting for the system to start shutting down after receiving the response. If we want to speed up the boot, we can first set the time to automatically end the task.

To do this, open the Registry Editor, expand the HKEY_CURRENT_USERControlPanelDesktop branch, find the AutoEndTasks subkey, and set it to 1. Then set the "HungAppTimeout" subkey under the branch to "1000" and "WaitTOKillService" to "1000" (the default is 5000). By resetting this way, the computer's shutdown speed can be significantly accelerated.

10, we all know that the professional version of WindowsXP retains 20% of the bandwidth by default, in fact, this does not have much effect for our individual users. Instead of being idle, use it as follows: Enter gpedit.msc in Start → Run to open the Group Policy Editor. Locate Computer Configuration→Administrative Templates→Network→QoS Packet Scheduler. Select Restrict Bandwidth on the right. Select Properties to open the Restrict Bandwidth Properties dialog box and select Disable. After this reset, you can release the reserved 20% of the bandwidth.
