This article will show you some of the Win XP operating skills (some are optimization techniques, some are specifically for Win XP), most of the content is original (original) - some content that has appeared on the Internet, to avoid similarities, I believe it will be useful to netizens. 1[Virtual desktop management, easy to have 4 desktops]
When we used the Windows operating system, we had to install special software if we wanted to have multiple desktops. In Win XP you don't need to install this software to have 4 desktops. Point the mouse to the taskbar, right click --> Tools --> Desktop Manager (Virtual Desktop Manager, some versions do not have this feature). There will be 5 buttons in the lower right corner of the taskbar, these 5 The buttons represent 4 desktops and a preview (4 desktops appear on the screen together). When you use this feature for the first time, these four desktop settings are the current desktop settings, you can design a personalized desktop based on this. Using this virtual desktop manager is a bit more complicated than you think. Right click on the virtual desktop manager in the task bar, select "configure desktop images" in the pop-up menu, a dialog box called "MSVDM settings" will appear, click on the "desktop" tab, on this tab, you You can set the background of the four desktops separately. As for how to set them up, everyone will know when you look at them. In the "MSVDM settings" dialog box, there is a "shortcut keys" tab. This tab can be used to set up 4 desktops and preview shortcuts. The default is the Windows logo key plus 1, 2, 3, 4 , and V. If you use shortcuts, you can hide the virtual desktop manager and make more room for the taskbar. In the virtual desktop, each desktop can have its own background, its own desktop settings, the window of the program you open on the desktop 1 is not displayed on other desktops, but on the taskbar, the button of the program is still Click on it to open it on other desktops. You can also make programs that run on different desktops open on other desktops, so that each desktop has its own program. Right click on the virtual desktop manager and remove the tick in front of "shared desktop" in the popup menu. 2[Task magnifying glass, the desktop graphic is clearly visible]
Win XP design is suitable for a wide range of applications. He considers all kinds of people with mild disabilities, so there is an "accessory tool" under Win XP attachment. It is convenient for people with hearing and poor eyesight to use the operating system. In fact, in addition to these, the taskbar itself has a magnifying glass tool (not the same as the one in the auxiliary tool, which is displayed above the desktop screen, the area is large, and this is displayed in the taskbar, the area is small) . Right click on the taskbar, select the toolbar, select "taskbar magnifIEr" in the lower menu, and then a "small box" will appear on the right side of the taskbar, which has a magnified view (pointed by the mouse), this image The magnification is customizable. Right click on the “small box” and select the magnification in the pop-up “zoom” submenu. This "small box" is small, if you want to be bigger, you can widen the taskbar. 3["Address" "Link" and "Desktop", it is more convenient to access the file page]
Right click on the blank space of the taskbar, select "Toolbar" in the pop-up menu, and then select "Address" in the submenu respectively. "," "link" and "desktop." Putting these tools on the taskbar can be a lot easier. For example, if you want to visit a website, you can type the URL directly in the address bar (if you connect to the internet), you can also type "D:\\u8221" to access it directly. For each disk, type "A:\\u8221" to read the floppy drive. Just type "G:\\u8221" to read the CD-ROM drive (if G is the CD-ROM drive), do you want to send mail? Type "mail to + mailbox" in the address bar. The address" is fine. You don't have to talk about the role of the link, everyone knows. The stuff that is called the desktop is easy to use. If you access the file (if you have a lot of files, you need to find it), you can find it here. This "desktop" puts all the files into a tree structure, all the files and their structures are It is easy to see at a glance. You can also directly access the website. In general, when we want to log in to a website, we must first start Internet Explorer. In fact, as long as we click "Start" → "Run" (or, win + R), And enter the URL directly on the "Open" item, the system will connect to the corresponding website for you. If you set up automatic dialing in the system, it will automatically dial for you, which is very convenient. 4[Language Bar: Text, Voice, and Handwriting]
Microsoft's concept of text services has been greatly expanded and developed in Win XP, becoming the concept of "language", not just typing input. The concept is to input information and instructions through various means (currently text, speech, and handwriting). Of course, in most cases, people are still accustomed to using only text input, generally do not use voice input and handwriting, even users with inconvenient hands, using voice is very laborious, it takes up a lot of resources, and voice The ability to recognize is not flattering, but it shows a direction and trend, and is a significant sign of Win XP as a (at least visual and functional) "product of the era", so introduce it here, interested Friends can go to "early taste". Normal users will set icons that do not display handwriting input and voice input, so you can't see them in the language bar. To display them, just click on a small down arrow in the lower right corner of the language bar and select "Other images in the taskbar" from the pop-up menu. These icons will appear - if they don't already appear, That's because the related system services are not open, probably because you have "optimized" the services that were started at boot time in msconfig because of the speed of booting up, and turned off these services. Take "handwriting input" as an example. There are two kinds of handwriting input. One is to connect one peripheral, which is the kind that is sold in the market. Then you can write your text on the computer as usual, and the other is In the computer, "write" with the mouse, this is a bit like a WordPad, but the words you write can be recognized by the computer, and then become the right one. It is very laborious to write with the mouse, but if you are pinyin ( Most people now use this). When you encounter a rare word, you know the glyph, but when you don't know the word, this "handwriting input" is a good solution. 5[Notification of notification area, Alt+tab is clearer]
Inactive program icons are automatically hidden, making room for other icons and buttons on the taskbar, and which settings can be set in the properties. Which ones don't show up - for example, if you have a firewall software, its icon will always be in the notification area, you know this, so you don't need to "notify" you, you can hide it. The method is as follows, right click on the "Properties" in the taskbar, select "Custom" in the "Notification Area" in the pop-up dialog box, and another dialog box pops up, you can set it arbitrarily. There is also the Alt+tab key (used to switch tasks), which is also different from win2000, not only the icons of those tasks, but also the thumbnails of the windows of these tasks. This is also useful, for example, if you open a lot of web pages, in win2000, you may not be able to tell which webpage you want to see when you switch webpages. With this function, you can identify the image by looking at the image. Look at the page. (The situation is different for different versions). 6[Clear Win XP Shared Folders]
Open my computer, we will notice that there is a "shared folder", this folder is very useful when we use the workgroup, you do not need to set anything, directly put The files to be shared are placed in this shared folder, but in practice, many people do not need this folder, and sometimes they want to kill it, but they can't find it there, only help. The registry is gone. Open the registry editor (don't say how to open it, run regedit ok). Found: HKEY_LOCAL_MacHINE > SOFTWARE > Microsoft >Windows> CurrentVersion >Explorer >My Computer>NameSpace > DelegateFolders >{59031a47-3f72-44a7-89c5-5595fe6b30ee}, ok this item, but You have to prepare for it first, or write down this value. Maybe you will use it later. 7[Save search results] Search is a very wasteful process. If you know the storage of the data in your own machine, it is rarely useful to search, but if you want to go to the public computer room, you often have to search for something. Searching is a waste of time, so sometimes you need to save your search results. After you type your search criteria, perform an "Search Now". Then right-click on the Search Results panel (or select the File menu), select Save Search, and type the file name and save location in the pop-up dialog box. Every time you want to run the same search, just find the file in Explorer and double-click it. The saved search criteria will be easily imported into the appropriate area of the Search Results dialog without having to enter the search repeatedly. Standards are available for searching. This is very labor-saving, but also to remind everyone, have time to study Win XP search assistant, in fact, its function is very powerful, we are not very used, but Microsoft's coder design is a focus, research You can use it more efficiently, but I won't say more here. 7[Taskbar Display Shortcuts]
You can drag a folder and program you use often to the taskbar to create a shortcut. You can create a new folder on the D drive, name it "Taskbar Folder", put your favorite folders and common program shortcuts into this folder, then right click on the taskbar. , select "Toolbar" → "New Toolbar" → "System Taskbar", click "OK", the toolbar will appear on the taskbar. By default, the icon, text, and title of the new toolbar are displayed. But you can just let it display the icon by right-clicking on the taskbar to remove the small hooks in front of "Show Title" and "Show Text".
