Mastering the skills of XP can better enjoy the powerful features that XP system brings to you.
1, restore the damaged Win XP system files
If the Windows XP system files are corrupted by viruses or other reasons, we can recover those corrupted files from the Windows XP installation disk.
Specific method: Search for the corrupted file in the installation disk of Windows XP. It should be noted that the last character of the file name is replaced by the bottom line "_" and rdquo; for example: if you want to search for "Notepad.exe" You need to search with “Notepad.ex_”.
After searching, open the command line mode (enter “cmd” in "run" and enter: “full path to the EXPAND source file. The full path to the target file”. For example: EXPAND D:\\SETUP\\NOTEPAD.EX_ C:\\Windows\\NOTEPAD.EXE. One thing to note is that if there are spaces in the path, you need to include the path in double quotes (quotation marks).
Finding is of course the best, but sometimes we can't find the files we need when searching on Windows XP. One reason for this is that the file you are looking for is in the "CAB” file. Since Windows XP treats "CAB" as a folder, for Windows XP, just drag and copy the "CAB” file right and copy it to the appropriate directory.
If you are using another Windows platform, search for the ""CAB” file containing the target file name. Then open the command line mode and enter: “EXTRACT /L The full path of the target location CAB file, for example: EXTRACT /LC:\\Windows D:\\I386\\Driver.cab Notepad.exe. Same as before, just like in the path If there are spaces, you need to include the path in double quotes.
2, refused to "group similar taskbar"
Although Windows XP "set similar taskbar button" setting can make your taskbar less open window, keep clean, but for some need to open the same kind The work of multiple windows is very inconvenient. If you use QQ communication software to chat with people online, if there are more than two friends talking to you at the same time, you will immediately feel the inconvenience caused by the default settings of XP DD every time you want to switch the conversation object. You must first click on the group, then select the friends you want to talk in the pop-up menu, and each friend displays the same icon in the group. When there are many conversation objects, you may have to click one by one to see exactly Who replied, waiting for your reaction, and choosing the wrong one, has to choose from the group, it is very troublesome. Obviously, this is not as good as opening a few windows, and clicking on each small window in the taskbar can start chatting. Change method: Click “ Start & Rarr; Control Panel & Rarr; Appearance and Theme & Rarr; Taskbar and & lsquo; Start & rsquo; Menu & rdquo;, in the pop-up window, will be grouped similar to the taskbar button & rdquo; Remove it.
3, uninstalling useless dynamic links through the registry
Resource Manager often leaves useless dynamic links in memory, in order to eliminate this phenomenon, you can open the registry editor, set the key value: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\ SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\EXPlorer\\AlwaysUnloadDLL=DWORD: 1 Set it to 0 and this feature will be turned off. Note: In order for the settings to take effect, you will need to restart your computer.
4, clear pre-read files in the prefetch folder
When Win XP is used for a period of time, the files in the pre-read folder will become very large, there will be dead chain files, which will slow down the system time. Recommendation: Delete these files on a regular basis. (Windowsprefetch)
5, Windows XP weight loss method
The following method is my current winXP diet method, after use, I feel safer, the effect is obvious, at least 300m space can be reduced. Note: It is not recommended for beginners.
Remove Driver Backup: Driver.cab file in WindowsDriver cachei386 directory (73MB) But in the future we must insert the Windows installation CD each time we install new hardware.
Delete system file backup (usually not used): Run the command line sfc /purgecache
Delete the alternate dll file: As long as you copy the installation file or have the installation CD, you can do so. Files under Windowssystem32dllcache (minus 200——300mb).
6, understand Win XP boot time
Although the Windows XP boot speed has made us satisfied, but Microsoft still provides us with a specific start-up time for Windows XP startup time. Gadgets, as well as viewing CPU usage, Disk I/O, etc., are visible at a glance because the tool is graphically displayed. Tools can be downloaded here.
7, recovery EXE file association
EXE file association error is very troublesome, because the occurrence of this situation is mostly caused by the virus, and the main file of the anti-virus software is EXE file, since the EXE file association error, How can I run anti-virus software? Fortunately, XP provides a command line tool in safe mode for us to use, you can use the command line tool to solve this problem.
In safe mode, type: assoc<space >.exe=exefile<carriage>, “ will be displayed on the screen. Exe=exefile”. Now close the Command Prompt window, press Ctrl+Alt+Del to bring up the “Windows Security” window, press the “Shutdown” button and select the “Restart” option. After starting Windows in normal mode, all The EXE file can run normally!
8, let Win XP automatically update
When Windows has an update, the automatic update system will prompt you to upgrade Windows, of course, this function will be after the Internet There will be real results. One thing to be sure is that in order to achieve automatic updates, the system must collect the user's computer information, and then send it to the Microsoft site, through feedback to decide whether to upgrade. This setting is also in the "System Properties" window, switch to the "Automatic Updates" tab to see that there are three choices here, select the last "Close automatic update", so the system will not appear often Prompt you to update automatically, if you do not use the genuine Windows XP operating system, I suggest you turn off this feature, because he may let you upgrade the system to Windows XP SP2 without knowing it, this will cause the system Unstable.
9, install IIS in the Home version
We all know that Windows XP Home version can not install IIS or PWS. According to the general method, you can only upgrade to XP Professional or use Windows 2000, but as long as the means, You can install IIS on Windows XP Home.
First enter "ld:;c:\\Windows\\inf\\sysoc.inf” in the "Start" menu, and the system will automatically open the sysoc.inf file using Notepad. Find the section "[Components]” in sysoc.inf and continue to find a line similar to "iis=iis.dll,OcEntry,iis.inf,hide,7", replace this line with "lds;iis" =iis2.dll,OcEntry,iis2.inf,,7”. Then save and close.
Insert the Windows 2000 Professional CD into the CD-ROM drive and press the Shift key to disable the CD-ROM drive. In the run, enter "CMD" and then press Enter to open the command line mode. Enter the following two commands at the command line and press Enter after each line command (assuming the CD-ROM drive is D):
EXPand d: \\i386\\iis.dl_ c:\\Windows\\system32\\setup\\iis2.dll
EXPand d:\\i386\\iis.in_ c:\\Windows\\inf\\iis2.inf
At this point, open your control Panel, and click the "Add Remove Programs" icon, then click "Add and remove Windows components".
Please take a closer look, the operating system displayed in the "Start" menu is Windows XP Home, but after modification, there is already an option to add IIS.
Then you can add IIS by following the method in Windows XP Professional or Windows 2000. In this example, we only installed the WWW service. The system will start copying files, which will take some time. And for this reason, please keep the Windows 2000 Professional CD in the CD-ROM drive.
After the installation is complete, you can open “Control Panel →Performance and Options →Administrative Tools","Internet Information Service Management"
If you want to verify that IIS is working properly and IE is open, type "“http://localhost”" in the address bar and press Enter. If you can see the interface in Figure 3, then your IIS is all normal. Run it.
Last but not least: If you need to insert the Window Whistler CD or you need to provide the exch_adsiisex.dll file during the installation process, it is because you installed IIS by default. To solve this problem As long as you install IIS, click "Details" and then cancel the selection of SMTP (ie do not install SMTP server), then you will not need those two files when copying files.
If you find that the Internet Information Services (IIS) installation project has been displayed after the location you installed, but they cannot be selected at all, it is likely because you are using iis.dl_ and iis.in_ It was taken from Windows XP Professional and can be installed normally by replacing it with Windows 2000 Professional.
After verification, several services such as WWW and FTP can be run normally on Windows XP Home with such modifications.
