Nowadays, the XP startup acceleration articles on the Internet are a lot of things, but there are not many really useful ones, and some even mislead readers. I am also an XP user myself, and I am deeply touched by the startup acceleration of XP. I have seen countless optimization articles, installed XP times N times, and walked through many detours, but in the end I finally summed up the experience that can really optimize XP startup.
my computer configuration is not very good, or start to install XP long after 2003, the scroll bar to turn over 10 laps after the start time was optimized to speed up the scroll bar on more than just one turn I can't wait to open the system. Here's a detailed explanation of how to accelerate the startup effectively and efficiently.
First, open the "system properties" (right click on my computer - properties, or open the "system" in the control panel, shortcut key win + pause break) point to the "advanced" tab, as shown in Figure 1, In the "Startup and Recovery" area, open "Settings", as shown in Figure 2, remove the two ports in the "System Startup" area, if the multi-system user keeps the "Display Operating System List Time". Click "Edit" to make sure that the additional attribute of the startup item is /fastdetect instead of nodetect. Do not add the /noguiboot attribute first, because guiboot will be used later.
The next step is the key, open the "System Properties" in the "Hardware" tab, open the "Device Manager", expand "IDE ATA /ATAPI controllers", such as Figure 3, double-click to open the "Secondary IDE Channel" property, as shown in Figure 4, click the "Advanced Settings" tab, change the transfer mode of devices 1 and 2 to DMA, if the device type can select "None", select "None", click OK to complete the setup, the same method to set the "main IDE channel".
The next step is very important, open the "Hardware" tab in the "System Properties", open the "Device Manager", expand the "IDE ATA /ATAPI Controller", as shown in Figure 3, double-click to open the "secondary IDE" Channel" attribute, as shown in Figure 4, click the "Advanced Settings" tab, change the transfer mode of devices 1 and 2 to DMA. If the device type can be "None", select "None" and click OK to complete the settings. The same method sets the "main IDE channel".
now start acceleration has been completed, but since accelerated the start but also the way the shutdown also accelerate it. Open the registry (Start-Run-regedit), click "My Computer" to open the "Edit" menu "Search", as shown in Figure 5, enter AutoEndTasks, click "Find Next". Double-click to open the found result and modify the "Value Data" to 1. Then under the AutoEndTasks, you can find HungAppTimeout, WaitToKillAPPTimeout, set the "Value Data" to 2000 or less, and modify the time of the menu delay here. Find the MenuShowDelay under the AutoEndTasks. The value is in milliseconds. I want to remove the menu delay and set it to 0.
revised point "Edit" menu, open the "Find Next" (shortcut key F3), to find the results of the method are installed on the step changes.
now accelerate startup and shutdown have been completed, restart the computer to experience the feeling of speed to start it, the scroll bar is not only turn twelve laps on OK.
After enjoying the speed of the speedy restart, we will further accelerate the startup speed, open the "System Properties" - "Advanced" - "Startup and Recovery" settings, open the "System Startup" area, in the Fastdetect is followed by /noguiboot so that scroll bars are no longer displayed at startup. If you really like the display of this scroll bar, you don't have to do this step.
Well, to start and accelerate XP and 2003 systems this is complete, simply to believe that a few first-time XP users should have learned it.
