XP System Disc Action: Thoroughly remove junk files

A certain amount of garbage is generated in daily work and life. Similarly, if our computer system is used for a while, it will generate a lot of garbage. Those unnecessary files always occupy the memory of the system, affecting The operation of our computer. Then, we should also act to completely remove the junk files of the XP system, greening our computers, and implementing CD-ROM operations.

One: delete unnecessary files in the system

1. Delete backup files

There is a file called “system32\\dllcache” in our computer. The folder contains nearly 250MB files, which are backup files of the XP system. When the Windows XP system files are replaced, deleted or modified, Windows XP can automatically extract the corresponding system file restores to ensure the stability of the system. Although the folder cannot be deleted directly, you can clear it by entering the Sfc.exe /purgecache command at the command prompt.

2. Delete the driver backup

The Driver.cab file in the directory of the Windows XP system directory "driver cache\\i386", which holds the backup of the hardware driver, under normal circumstances No need to use. Even if you need to install new hardware, you can insert the Windows XP installation CD into the CD-ROM drive.

3. Delete the useless input method

In the "Windows\\ime\\" folder, there are files related to the input method, including the traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean input methods. Most people are useless. We can delete the three directories “<quo;chtime”,“imjp8_1”,“imkr6_1”, which are traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean input methods, so that we can save 80MB of hard disk space. .

4. Deleting Help Files

The help of the initial system of Windows XP is very useful, but as you become more familiar with the system, the help files become more and more redundant. At this point, you can consider deleting it. XP help files are stored in the Help folder under the system installation directory, you can delete all the files and directories under it.

2: Reduce the space occupied by the system hard disk

1. Turn off the system restore

System Restore can return the computer to an earlier time (called the restore point) without It will lose our recent work, but it will take up a lot of hard disk space for a long time. Therefore, it is necessary to manually set it to reduce the amount of hard disk usage.

Close the method: Open the "System Properties" dialog box, select the "System Restore" tab in the dialog box, select the "Close System Restore on all drives" check box to close system Restore. If you do not turn off System Restore, you can set up a restore only for the disk or partition on which the system resides. First select the partition where the system is located, click the “Configure” button, in the pop-up dialog box, cancel the “System Restore” option for this drive and set the amount of disk space for system restore.

2. Turn off hibernation support

Hibernation will take up a lot of hard disk space. If you use less, you can turn it off. The method of closing is: Open “Control Panel”, Double-click "Power Options" to select the "Hibernate" tab in the pop-up "Power Options Properties" dialog box to cancel the "Enable Hibernate" checkbox.

3. Reduce or disable virtual memory

When the physical memory of the system is relatively large, you can consider reducing the value of virtual memory or even canceling virtual memory. When you have 512MB of physical memory, you can virtualize it. The memory is set to half of the physical memory, which is 256MB. If you have 1GB of physical memory, you can cancel the virtual memory.

3: Clear temporary files

1. Clear system temporary files

Temporary files are generally stored in two locations: a Temp folder in a Windows installation directory; The other is X:\\Documents and Settings\\“username';\\Local Settings\\Temp folder (X: is the partition where the system is located). Files in both locations can be deleted directly.

2. Clear Temporary Internet Files

A long time will cause a large number of temporary Internet files. Regular deletion will save a lot of hard disk space.

Open Internet Explorer and select “Internet Options” from the “Tools” menu. In the pop-up dialog box, select the “General” tab, in the “Temporary Internet Temporary File”. In the column, click the "Delete Files" button, and in the pop-up "Delete Files" dialog box, select the "Delete all offline content" checkbox and click the "OK" button.

You can also set the disk occupied by temporary Internet files to an acceptable range, click the “Settings" button in the "Internet Temporary Files" column, and then at “Settings” The dialog box (as shown in the figure) sets the disk space occupied by the temporary file, and can also move the folder of the temporary Internet file to another partition to reduce the occupation of the system partition disk.

Four: File compression in NTFS partitions

XP provides file compression properties for NTFS partition files, which can effectively save disk space. In the NTFS partition, select the file or folder to be compressed, right-click, select the “property" command in the shortcut menu, and then click in the “General” tab of the “Properties" Click the “Advanced” button and check the “Compress content to save disk space” checkbox in the “Compress or Encrypt Properties” column of the new dialog box. After you confirm the ” you will find The disk space occupied by files is greatly reduced.

Five: Clear Windows XP shared folder

“Shared folder This folder is useful when we use the workgroup, you can directly share it without any settings The files are placed in this shared folder, but in practice, many people do not need this feature. We can disable this feature by modifying the registry to save disk space.

Here's how: Open the Registry Editor and find: subkeys under the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion \\Explorer\\My Computer\\NameSpace\\DelegateFolders {59031a47-3f72-44a7-89c5- 5595fe6b30ee}”, delete this key value. It is best to make a backup before deleting, or write down this value so that you can restore it instantly when needed.

The above five aspects are the most prone to system waste. As long as we regularly clean up the garbage and implement the disc action in time, the system garbage of the computer can be completely removed, and the system is green. Environment, while improving the speed of the computer.
