I have been using the Windows XP operating system for many years. I am very familiar with the application of the Windows XP operating system. Today I recommend 20 very useful Win XP tips for everyone.
1, view detailed system information
Open the "command prompt", or enter "cmd" in the "Run" dialog box, enter "systeminfo" in the "command prompt" state, press Enter The key, the system will start detecting relevant information and return to the current window, you can see whether Windows & XP; XP installed the patch, initial installation time, virtual memory settings and other details.
2, let the computer do the CD machine
Use the computer to listen to the CD without any playback software, connect the speaker cable directly to the earphone hole of the optical drive, put the CD, press the play button on the CD-ROM to listen directly, This way you can listen to songs without taking up system resources. (If your computer is broken, you can't start it or something, you can't fix it at that time, don't waste resources, use the power supply inside to power on the CD-ROM, you can temporarily do the CD machine
3, Remove the menu delay
In order to achieve visual realism, the menu in Windows XP will slide out when it is opened, but this will also delay the opening speed. We can find "MenuShowDelay" under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Control Panel\\Desktop "Primary key, change its value to "0" to remove the menu delay effect.
4, view the encrypted disk and file
Windows XP has higher security performance, if the user is set to use the rights protection Function, other users can not directly access your folder, even the system administrator will not work. This is safe, but it is a very headache. If you happen to encounter such problems, you must log in as Administrator , then turn off "Use simple files" in the "Advanced Settings" list window in the "View" tab of the folder options Share the checkbox. Then return to the corresponding folder or disk partition, select the "Properties" command in the associated menu, switch to the "Security" tab, you can see any users that are not allowed to access, click "Advanced" button, enter the advanced settings interface. Switch to the "Owners" tab, if there is your user list, select it, and select the "R replace sub-container and object owner" checkbox under the interface , click "Apply" to add the settings, at this point you can see your name in the "Permissions" tab. Of course, if you are allowed to add new access users in the "Permissions" tab, you can ignore The above operation.
Click the "OK" button to return, you can now access the original encrypted folder, or disk. Also, if you see a long "S-1" in the "Pemissions" tab -5-21-xxxxx" and so on are all digital users, this may be the previously created username, but it is corrupted, select the user, clear the interface "Inh Erect from part of permission entries that apply to child objects. Inculde these with entrIEs rules defined here (from the parent inherits those rights items that can be applied to child objects, including those explicitly defined here) checkbox. Select the "Copy" command in the interface, then you can delete this useless user.
5, solve the problem of shutdown and restart
This problem is that some motherboards of advanced power management can not be supported by Windows XP. Generally, the motherboard with AWARD's BIOS does not have this problem. So far, the motherboard that has encountered the AMI BIOS has this problem, such as Gigabyte's motherboard. The solution is to upgrade your motherboard's BIOS, that is, refresh BiOS, this is a more dangerous operation, it is best to ask experienced people to help you.
6, turn off autoplay
Once you insert the media into the drive to run automatically reads the data from the drive, which will cause the program settings file and music on audio media start immediately. You can disable this function by using the following method: Click "Start" → "Run", enter "gpedit.msc" → "Computer Configuration" → "Administrative Template" → "System" in the dialog box, double-click "Close AutoPlay" , select "Enabled" in "Settings", OK.
7, clear the page file when shutting down
Open the "Control Panel", click "Administrative Tools" → "Local Security Policy" → "Local Policies" → "Security Options", double-click "Shutdown: Clean Virtual Memory "Page file" item, click the "Enabled" option in the pop-up menu, click "OK".
8, quickly close the window
If there are multiple windows open at the same time, if you want to close, you can hold down shift and then click the close icon in the upper right corner of the window
9, fast save page
Before saving the webpage, you can click the "ESC" button (or work offline) and save it again. This saves quickly
10, automatically closes the program that stops responding
In Windows XP operating system, this setting can make Windows XP can automatically shut down an application when it detects that an application has stopped responding, without the need for cumbersome manual intervention. To achieve this function, please click "Start" → "Run" to enter "RegEdit" to open the Registry Editor, find the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Control Panel\\Desktop branch, set the AutoEndTasks key value to 1.
11, reduce the waste of disk space
In the Windows XP operating system, often generate suffixes such as tmp, bak, log, old, txt, etc., these files are actually safe to delete Even the bmp files under the Windows directory, if you don't like the wallpapers that come with Windows XP. These files can be completely deleted.
In the Windows XP operating system Windows\\temp directory below the file, I also recommend that you delete, those are the extra files left in the process of installing the application software. Another point is that the small files in the hard disk, please put them together as much as possible, and then use WinZip compression software to merge into a large file, thus reducing the waste of disk space.
12, clear the unused DLL file in memory
In [Start]-->[Run]-->Type [Regedit]-->[HKKEY_LOCAL_MacHINE]--> [SOFTWARE] -->[Microsoft]-->[Windows]-->[CurrentVersion], add an item [AlwaysUnloadDLL] in [Explorer], the default value is set to 1. Note: If the default value is set to [0], this function is disabled.
13, memory performance optimization
Windows XP has several options to optimize memory performance, they are all in the registry below:
HKEY_LOCAL_MacHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession ManagerMemory Management
1) disable memory paging (Paging Executive)
Under normal circumstances, XP will write a fragment of the memory to the hard disk, we can prevent it from doing so, leaving the data in memory, thereby improving system performance. It should be noted that users with a lot of memory (more than 256M) can use this setting. The name of this setting is just like its function, called "DisablePagingExecutive". Changing its value from 0 to 1 disables memory paging.
2) Improve the system cache: change the LargeSystemCache key value from 0 to 1, Windows XP will allocate all system memory except 4M to the file system cache, which means that the XP kernel can run in memory. , greatly improve the speed of the system. The remaining 4M of memory is used for disk caching. XP will allocate more when needed under certain conditions. In general, this optimization will result in a considerable increase in system performance, but it may also degrade some applications. As mentioned before, you must have more than 256M of memory to activate LargeSystemCache, otherwise don't move it.
3) Input /Output Performance: This optimization is only meaningful to the server user - it can improve the performance of the system for large file transfer. By default, this key does not exist in the registry. You must create a DWord (double-byte value) key, named IOPageLockLimit. Most people use this optimization to find the best performance between 8 and 16 Mbytes. What value can be set, you can set it to see which value can get the best performance. Remember that this value is calculated in bytes, so if you want to allocate 12M, it is 12 * 1024 * 1024, which is 12582912. As with the previous memory optimization, it is only necessary to change the value when your memory is larger than 256M.
14, set the processor L2 cache capacity
Windows XP can not automatically detect the processor's L2 cache capacity, we need to manually set it in the registry, first open the registry (run "Regedit" in the run) , then open: HKEY_LOCAL_MacHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession ManagerMemory Management
Select "SecondLevelDataCache", according to the processor settings you use, for example, PIII Coppermine/P4 Willamette is "256", Athlon XP is "384", P4 Northwood is "512" < BR> 15, restore the previous driver of the hardware
After installing a new hardware driver and found that the system is unstable or the hardware is not working, just select the "Driver Recovery" button in the "Device Manager", ie Can be restored to the previous normal system state. However, the printer driver cannot be restored.
16, let Windows XP read English letters
Find the "narrator" program in the "accessibility" group, click the "sound" button, enter the "sound settings" interface to make some settings and then save. When you point your mouse at a dialog box, menu, and button with English letters, you will hear a male voice reading English letters.
17, view the Internet access time
In Windows XP, we can view our past Internet time through the "Event Viewer". Here's how: Open the Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and open the Event Viewer. In the window on the left, select the "System" option, right-click, select "Properties" in the pop-up shortcut menu, select the "Filter" tab in the "System Properties" window, and select "In Event Source" RemoteAccess". Click the "OK" button to return to the "Event Viewer" main window. In the right window, the start time and end time of the Internet will be displayed. The earlier of the two adjacent times is the time when you started surfing the Internet. Later, it is the time to go offline.
18, modify the Windows XP login background pattern
Faced with a long-lasting monotonous login pattern, you may be tired for a long time, we can use the registry to replace it with your favorite pattern, the steps are as follows: Open the Registry Editor, find the HKEY_USERS.DEFAULTControl PanelDesktop subkey branch, double-click wallpaper, type the path of the image you selected, such as: c ocuments and SettingsMy DocumentsMy Picturesmypic.bmp, click "OK", then find Tilewallpaper, double click it to enter The key value is "1", you can see the effect by restarting the system.
19, modify the background color when logging in
If you also want to modify the background color when logging in, you can follow the steps below: open the registry editor, find the HKEY_USERS.DEFAULTControl PanelColors subkey branch, double-click the subkey branch Under the Background key name, the "Edit String" dialog box appears, enter the key value representing the color in the "Value Data" text box (such as black RGB value is 000, white RGB value is 255 255 255, system default The value is 58 110 165), click the "OK" button to restart the system.
20, any custom button color
Although Windows XP itself has a variety of windows
