Microsoft's next-generation operating system, Windows XP, has been released for a while, and I believe many of my friends have upgraded their operating systems to XP. Although Windows XP is the most powerful operating system to date, the same as the previous Windows operating system, the newly installed Windows XP system is not in the best state. You can use some tips to modify the original settings to optimize Windows XP.
Speed up the boot
1. Turn off some programs and resident programs that start with Windows
Select "Start" menu → "Run", enter msconfig to enter "System Configuration Application", in the [Start] column, turn off unnecessary programs, cancel the check box in the box, turn off unnecessary programs, and the undefined program can not be arbitrarily closed, so as not to cause Windows error. (Try first whether you can cancel the resident in the software itself, you can not use this method.), press [Apply] after completion, restart.
2. Windows XP to set a fixed IP address
Windows XP desktop into Although speed is quite fast, but running operation is a step by step, you have to wait some time to Really run the program. If your machine is equipped with a network card, Windows XP will automatically search for the IP address after entering the desktop, so if you do not set a fixed IP address, it will waste a lot of time searching for the IP address.
Note: If you do not have a network card, or use a fixed-bandwidth broadband or share bandwidth client, you do not have to change the following settings.
Right click on [My Network Places], select [Properties], pop up the [Network Connection] menu, right click on [Local Area Connection] → [Property] appears [Local Area Connection Properties], in [ ,null,null,3],In General], double-click "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)", enter 192.168.0.1 in "IP Address" and enter 255.255.255.0 in "Subnet Mask".
Change login settings
1. Shorten the waiting time when closing the "Processor"
Select "Start" menu → "Run", enter regedit, pop up the registry editor, look for [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\ControlPanel\\
Desktop], select WaitToKillAPPTimeout in the right window, press the right mouse button, select "Modify", change its value to 1000 and wait for 1 second when closing "Processing Program" (default: 20000).
2. Shorten the time waiting for the "Processor" error
Select "Start" menu → "Run", enter regedit pop-up registry editor, look for [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\ControlPanel\\
Desktop] In the right window, select HungAPPTimeout, press the right mouse button, select "Modify", and change its value to 200, that is, wait for 0.5 seconds when the "Processing Program" error occurs (default: 5000).
3. Let the system automatically close the program that stops responding
Select "Start" menu → "Run", enter regedit, pop up the registry editor, look for [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\ControlPanel\\
Desktop], Select AutoEndTasks in the right window, right click and select "Modify" to change its value to 1 (default is 0).
4. Speed up the menu display speed
Select "Start" menu → "Run", enter regedit, pop up the registry editor, look for [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\ControlPanel\\
Desktop], the window on the right Select MenuShowDelay, press the right mouse button, select "Modify", change its value to 100 or less (default drop? 400), it is recommended not to use 0, because as soon as the mouse accidentally touches "all programs" "The whole menu will run out, and that's a mess."
5. shorten the waiting time
select "Start" menu → "Run", type regedit, and in the pop-up the Registry Editor in search [HKEY_LOCAL_MacHINE \\ System
\\ CurrentControlSet \\ Control], in In the right window, select WaitToKillServiceTimeout, right click the mouse, select "Modify", and change its value to 1000 or less (original setting: 20000).
Note: The above five changes, if you are not familiar with the registry, you can copy the following content into the notebook, set the file name suffix to .reg, double-click.
RREGEDIT
[HKEY_LOCAL_MacHINE\\System\\
CurrentControlSet\\Control]
"WaitToKillServiceTimeout" = "1000"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Control Panel\\Desktop]
"WaitToKillAPPTimeout" = "1000"
"HungAPPTimeout" = "200"
"AutoEndTasks" = "1"
"MenuShowDelay" = "100"
6. Add "My Network Places" not sharing speed
I know that when users use Windows XP to open the shared resources in "My Network Places", have they found that the time spent is quite long, because it will check the setting work in other computers, and sometimes even stop there. For nearly a minute, it is quite annoying. You can cancel the check step by the following method: Select "Start" menu → "Run", enter regedit, and look for [HKEY_LOCAL_MacHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows in the pop-up registry editor. /CurrentVersion/
Explorer/RemoteComputer/NameSpace], press the right mouse button to place {D6277990-4C6A-11 at this location CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF} can be deleted.
optimize hard disk management
1. Use NTFS file system format install Windows XP
NTFS file system compared to the FAT32 file more secrecy, compression, disk quotas and usage rights Management function. Therefore, it is higher than FAT32 in terms of file security and confidentiality. And the operating system installed under the NTFS file system will compress the files that are not commonly used, so it saves a considerable space compared with FAT32, so if it is used to install the operating system under FAT32 file system (such as Windows98...) It is possible that the files in NTFS may not be read correctly. In addition, in the case of more and more data installed in the sector, NTFS is much better than the FAT32 file system in running performance. Therefore, I suggest that you use the NTFS file system to install your Windows XP system. When using the CD to boot when installing Windows XP, select the NTFS file system when formatting. 2.
the IDE device
some reason, Windows XP sometimes used in the DMA transfer mode IDE channel transfer mode PIO parallel input and output, instead of DMA mode. If this is the case, the user can manually change the IDE channel to DMA mode, which can reduce the CPU cycle occupied by the device. Open Device Manager (right click on My Computer, select Properties, click on the Hardware tab, click on "Device Manager" to open), then click on the "IDE ATA/ATAPI Controller" branch, double-click on "Primary IDE Channel" and click advanced settings. Check the "Transport Mode" drop-down menu, set them all to DMA If Available, and click OK. Modify each IDE controller in the same way.
3. To delete the Web cache content
Go to Control Panel, double-click "Internet Options" into the "Internet Properties" in the [General] in the "Internet temporary files" below click the "Delete Files", and Tick "Delete all offline content" and press "OK".
In addition, there is a [History] in [General] and it is also deleted by the way. Delete some Temp scratchpads: for example "E:\\Windows\\TEMP" (Note: my XP is installed on the E drive.), "E:\\DocumentsandSettings\\(username)\\LocalSettings\\Temp" and some software-specific Temp (most of which should be set in the software itself) is also removed together. When
4. Clear restore point, free hard disk space
Windows XP is set up to create a "restore point" function, store contains a simple file system setting information to prevent system crashes, settings are lost. However, under certain circumstances, Windows will create multiple unnecessary restore points, sometimes taking up a few G of hard disk space. We need to delete other files except the recent restore point, just click Start → Programs → Accessories → System Tools → Disk Cleanup, select the hard disk to be cleaned in the pop-up menu, then select “Clean up”, and finally click OK. , you can.
Unrestricted bandwidth setting can be reserved
Enterprise version of Windows XP Professional has added QoSRRP (this is the abbreviation of Quality of Service Resource Reservation Protocol, meaning service quality resource reservation protocol). In general, when trying to access information through the available bandwidth, the application either passes through the QoS application interface or through another application interface called TCI. In network communication, a certain bandwidth is reserved for the manager for business security, which is a good thing for QoS applications, but the general user does not need this function, and there are some invisible parts ( The default is 20%) bandwidth is wasted, so I'm here to provide a way to cancel this feature.
Note: Users of Windows XP Home Edition do not have to change these settings.
Select [Start] menu → click [Logout] → [Logout] to enter the login main screen, press Ctrl+Alt+Del twice in the login main screen, the login window appears, enter in the user name Administrator (Note: to distinguish the size), enter the password in the password field (if there is no password set to "blank") Press OK to enter Windows, [Start] → [Run] enter gpedit.msc to enter [group Strategy] window, select [Computer Configuration]→[Administrative Template]→[Network]→[QoS Packet Scheduler] in the left window, double-click “Limit Retainable Bandwidth” in the right window, select “Enabled” And set the "bandwidth limit (%)" to 0 application → OK → reboot.
fast shutdown
Windows XP boot speed really much faster than previous versions of Caozuojitong, but the shutdown speed is a lot slower. If you care about the speed of the shutdown, you can modify several registry keys to greatly reduce the time it takes for Windows to shut down. First open the registry editor, find HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Control Panel\\Desktop\\, there is a key named HungAppTimeout, its default value is 5000 (if not, change it to 5000). Next, there is a WaitToKillAPPTimeout key, which changes its value to 4000 (the default is 2000). Finally, locate the registry as follows: HKEY_LOCAL_MacHINE\\System\\
CurrentControlSet\\Control\\. Similarly, change the value of the WaitToKillServiceTimeout key to 4000. In addition, you can also speed up the Windows shutdown time by setting the NVidia Driver Help service in Control Panel → Administrative Tools → Services to Manual.
With these simple settings, I believe you can provide a better operating environment. I hope this will make it easier for everyone who uses Windows XP to experience the fun of Windows XP.
