Optimize Windows XP to 98 Speed ​​

Overall: Make WinXP slimmer, sexy, faster, and easier to use.

In order to achieve this goal, we mainly start from four aspects:

1. Reduce disk space usage

2. Terminate unused system services

3, security issues

4, other tips

First ask, are you really want to activate XP, no. . . Accurately say that you want to be able to upgrade on the ms station. If the answer is yes, then let's first discuss the installation problem. I am still recommending the popular V4, V5, V6 versions, especially V5 and V6. There is a serial number problem during the installation process. I suggest that you first calculate it on the machine and then use this serial number to install it. Usually the XP installed in this way can be freely updated to the MS site.

If you have already installed XP, but the serial number used is for everyone who uses it everywhere, it doesn't matter, we will later say that the serial number will be solved when re-encapsulating with sysrep. Replacement problem.

I assume that you have installed XP, come on baby ~~

First, slimming action

1, after all kinds of software and hardware are installed properly, in fact, XP needs There are very few updates when updating files. Delete the system backup file: Start → Run → sfc.exe /purgecache nearly 3xxM.

2, delete the driver backup: driver.cab file under %windows%driver cachei386 directory, usually this file is 76M.

3, I did not see the habit of help, so retaining the contents of the %windows%help directory is a kind of harm to me, huh, huh. . . Both are dry, nearly 4xM.

4, after the upgrade is complete, you will also find that %windows% has a lot of similar directories like $NtUninstallQ311889$, all kill it, 1x-3xM.

5, just in the hard disk there are win2000/server, etc., so by the way the pagefile.sys file points to a place: control panel & rarr; system & rarr; performance? Advanced → virtual memory & rarr; change, note the point "set" & rdquo; will take effect.

6, uninstall the uncommon components: use notepad to modify %windows%infsysoc.inf, use the find /replace function, enter in the search box, hide, all replaced with empty. In this way, all the hides are removed, and after saving and exiting, "Add-Remove Programs" will see a lot of options in the "Add/Remove Windows Components"; delete the game, Code table, etc.

7, h except for windowsime, the method is not used, 8xM. I reinstalled my own zrm input method, hehe.

8, if the real space is tight, enable NTFS compression, this will use 2x% less space, but I did not.

9, closed the system restore, this broken function for me often download and test software for people is simply a disaster, use the right mouse button to click on the desktop "My Computer", select “Properties", find “system restore", select “ turn off system restore on all drives & rdquo; Oh, you can save space.

10, there are several documents, quite big, and it is useless. . . . Forgot the name: (, just installed system can use the search function to find files larger than 50M to see, should be able to find.

If you can follow the above process, your original 1.4G XP, can be reduced to less than 800.

Second, the acceleration plan

WinXP startup will have many functions that affect speed, although ms said that it has been optimized, but for us There are still a lot of customizable things. I usually do this.

1. Modify the registry run key to cancel some unusable things, such as Windows Messenger. Enable Registry Manager. :Start →Run →Regedit→Find "HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindow

sCurrentVersionRunMSMSGS” /BACKGROUND This key value, right click → delete, the world is much quieter, by the way, what cfmon are killed. < Br>

2, modify the registry to reduce pre-read, reduce the wait time of the progress bar, the effect is that the progress bar runs into the login screen after a lap, start →Run → regedit start the registry editor, find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession ManagerMemory ManagementPrefetchParameters, there is a key EnablePrefetcher to change its value to "1", it can be. In addition, friends who do not often change hardware can put the bus device in the system properties The above device type is set to none.

3, turn off the special effects in the system properties, this is a simple and effective speed-up recipe. Click Start → Control Panel → System & Rarr; Advanced & Rarr; Performance → set → in the visual effects, set to adjust for the best performance & rarr; OK. This desktop will be very similar to win2000, I still like XP blue window, so in the window and Use the visual style on the button to put a check mark so that you can see the beautiful blue interface and speed up.
