Basic ideas: 1, reduce disk space occupation 2, terminate the system services that are not commonly used 3, security issues 4, other skills
First ask, you really want to activate XP, no. . . Accurately say that you want to be able to upgrade on the ms station. If the answer is yes, then let's first discuss the installation problem. I am still recommending the popular V4, V5, V6 versions, especially V5 and V6. There is a serial number problem during the installation process. I suggest that you first calculate it on the machine and then use this serial number to install it. Usually the XP installed in this way can be freely updated to the
site of the MS.
If you are already installed XP, but the serial number is used everywhere, it does not matter, we will later say that using sysrep to re-encapsulate will solve the serial number replacement problem .
I assume you have installed the XP up, come on baby ~~
a slimming action
1, a variety of hardware and software are properly installed after the fact, XP needs There are very few updates when updating files. Delete the system backup file: Start → Run → sfc.exe /purgecache Near 3xxM.
2, remove the drive backup:% Windows% \\ driver.cab file in the driver cache \\ i386 directory, usually this file is 76M.
3, did not even look at help of habit, so retains something under the% Windows% \\ help directory for me is a kind of hurt, huh, huh. . . Both are dry, nearly 4xM.
4, you will also find a% Windows% \\ many more like $ NtUninstallQ311889 $ these directories after the upgrade is complete, you get rid of it, 1x-3xM.
5, there are just hard win2000
/server and so on, so I dropped the pagefile.sys file points to a place: Control Panel → System → Performance - → Advanced → Change virtual memory, Note that the "Settings" will take effect.
6, uninstall not commonly used components: Modify \\% windows% \\ inf \\ sysoc.inf use Notepad, with Find /Replace function in the search box, hide, replace all empty. In this way, all the hides are removed. After saving and exiting the "Add-Remove Programs", you will see a lot of options in "Add/Remove Windows Components"; delete the game, the code table, etc. What you don't need.
7, delete the \\ Windows \\ ime input method not under, 8xM. I reinstalled my own zrm input method, hehe.
8, if space is tight, enable NTFS compression feature, so also with 2x% less space, but I did not do.
9, off System Restore, which often break feature for me this download, people test software is simply a disaster, with the mouse right-click "My Computer" on the desktop, select "Properties ", find "system restore", select "turn off system restore on all drives" Oh, you can save space.
10, there are several files, getting bigger, and can not help. . . . Forgot the name :(, just installed the system can use the search function to find files larger than 50M to look at, should be able to find.
if you can finish the process in accordance with the above, your original 1.4G of XP can be reduced to less than 800.
