With Windows XP for a long time, you have used some third-party software to implement specific functions, such as input methods, file compression, and so on. But in fact, many people do not know, in addition to the commonly used operating system features, XP actually comes with a lot of tools, but they are hidden deeper. Let us reveal these hidden tools together!
1: No need for third-party input method, the same as traditional Chinese characters
If you do not install the input method such as purple light, pinyin plus, etc., XP's intelligent ABC input method is really unable to input traditional characters, which is sometimes More troublesome. In fact, we can use the Simplified Chinese version of XP hidden Cangjie Pinyin input method to enter traditional characters. Microsoft put the installation program of the new Cangjie input method 98b in the C:\\windows\\system32\\IME\\cintlgnt folder. After entering the directory, double-click CINTSETP.EXE to install it and add a Cangjie input method. You can enter direct traditional characters on Simplified Chinese XP.

own use Windows for some time, there will inevitably be damaged or missing system files will appear. At this time, the stability and speed of the system will be greatly affected. And if you reinstall the system for a few small files, it would be a little more troublesome. In fact, we can check which system files are damaged or lost by using the system file checker under C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\sfc.exe. Then you just need to copy these files from the installation disk or another machine.

But if we accidentally delete this shortcut when setting the start menu, how can we upgrade it? Don't worry, we can do this by c:\\windows\\system32\\wupdmgr.exe.
5: Self-extracting file creation tool
Self-extracting files can be directly extracted into the corresponding folder without the corresponding decompression program such as WinRAR. However, to produce self-extracting files, you generally need to have a decompressor such as WinRAR. In fact, we can also use the iexpress (c:\\windows\\system32\\iexpress.exe) that comes with XP to make self-extracting files. One is a standard self-extractor and the other is a self-extractor for software installation, which makes it much easier when we publish the program. Although the running interface of iexpress is in English, the self-extracting file generated by it is Chinese. These XP implied tool 4 described above
