from six aspects. With the development of the Windows operating system, the functions are getting stronger and stronger, the operation is getting simpler and simpler, but the startup speed of the system is getting slower and slower. Take the current most popular Windows XP, it is not flattering, so many friends try various ways to reduce the startup time, use various optimization techniques or software to speed up the startup process. Today, I combine long-term experience with a few practical tips to help you accelerate the start of Windows XP system.
1, disable unused IDE channel
acceleration principle: Since Windows XP system will automatically IDE devices on your computer is detected during startup, so close to idle IDE channel Detection to speed up system startup. However, the error statement that is circulating on the network needs to be corrected: Many people think that it is enough to disable the idle IDE channel in the BIOS, and others suggest that it be closed at the same time in BiOS and the system. First of all, the first method is simply ineffective, because the XP operating system can bypass the motherboard's BiOS to independently monitor the various states of the computer hardware; the latter approach seems to be more than one. Therefore, it can only be turned off in Windows XP system to truly achieve the effect of disabling the idle IDE channel.
[Do as follows]: Right click on "My Computer - Properties", then click on "Hardware" and then click on "Device Manager" to open "IDE ATA/PATA Controller" (different chips are slightly Difference), then enter the primary and secondary IDE channels separately, select "Advanced Settings", here find the "current transfer mode" is "not applicable" (this is the corresponding corresponding to the idle IDE channel), this item will be Set the "Device Type" to "None" and confirm.
2, manually set the IP address
acceleration principle: Windows XP Windows 2000 system is developed on the basis, thus supporting a rich network functionality. In this case, the Windows XP system will automatically detect whether the computer is connected to the LAN after booting, but the general users are all connected to the Internet, and basically set the IP address automatically in the network connection. In this case, the system searches for a DHCP server in order to assign an IP address to the machine, but the general user does not configure it at all. This causes the system to take a long time to search the DHCP server until it gets an IP address or the service timeout will stop after each boot. During this period, even if it comes to the desktop, the double-click program does not reflect anything. This is also the problem that many Windows XP users report "dead" after entering the desktop for 10 seconds! In fact, simply assigning an IP address to the "local connection" can easily solve this problem and avoid Windows XP every time. Automatic network detection for booting, thus speeding up the boot!
[Do as follows]: Right click on "My Network Places" - select properties, right click on the "Local Area Connection" - select properties, double click "Internet Protocol" (TCP/IP)", select "Use the following IP address" and enter an IP address (for example: 192.168.0.1), the subnet mask can be used by default. (This will not cause any conflict with your Internet. This address is only used in the LAN.) If the system searches again, it will quickly find the IP and quickly enter the system.
3, disable the device
temporarily without acceleration principle: Now computer peripherals price a lot cheaper, a lot of people to buy the U disk, mobile hard disk, etc. products, but many friends Always forget to disconnect these USB devices from the host after use. Since the Windows XP system will automatically detect the USB interface when booting, if these devices are connected to the host at boot time, the system will start slowly. I personally experienced a friend's computer connected to the mobile hard disk after booting, can not enter the system, only disconnected the cable to enter. Therefore, after using USB devices such as USB flash drives and mobile hard disks, you can disconnect the host in time, and also prevent the device from being damaged due to unexpected current surges (because many chassis manufacturers are currently reducing the cost in front USB ports). There is no necessary protection circuit at all, even without the necessary grounding). In addition, friends who use notebooks should not be able to use devices such as infrared and wireless network cards, and should be disabled in the device manager. Because these expansion devices, especially network cards, have a huge impact on the speed of system startup. After disabling, the accelerated startup process is skipped for the purpose of skipping system boot detection.
Also note: Because the system will automatically default to read CD-ROM, CD-ROM will therefore be detected when you start, if you put a CD-ROM drive, it will automatically read, if you read a multimedia CD-ROM spend It will take longer and also extend the startup time of the computer. Therefore, it is recommended that you use the CD in peacetime and remember to take it out in time.
4, turn off the desktop theme clear cut
a lot of friends like pretty wallpaper or theme, but beautiful at a price that consume a lot of memory, but there are too many icons on the desktop the same alsp. Because every time the system starts up to display the desktop, you first need to check whether the theme is enabled. Once it is found, it will load. Many themes eat a lot of memory. (Many users also make their own bodies are not perfect, they will appear after use. Many compatibility issues cause system failure). At the same time, the system also finds and verifies the validity of desktop shortcuts, so the more shortcuts, the longer the verification time it takes. It is recommended that you try not to use the theme as much as possible, and you can set up a beautiful wallpaper at most. Then place them into the desktop shortcut to a special folder Pianyuguanli, accelerate the start do both!
5, shut down unnecessary startup programs
many software will automatically run some after system start daemon, such as: Winamp, Office, etc.
these programs will make slow start, we should be here by the extra shut startup items "start" - "start - run" type "msconfig" carriage return . In normal times, you only need to keep the input method and firewall (according to personal settings).
In addition, we do not recommend the memory optimization software is set to boot finishing. Because booting the memory is not only very effective, but also seriously affects the startup speed. The correct way is to use the memory to save the name after the operation of Photoshop and other software that requires a lot of memory. (In fact, the memory management of the operating system itself has been quite perfect since Win2000, and the development of memory to the current winXP is more scientific and effective, and the use of memory is limited.)
6, anti-virus software is also troublesome
Some anti-virus software provides a system boot scan function, which will take a lot of time, in fact, if you have turned on the real-time monitoring function of the anti-virus software, and regularly check the system, then the scan system appears to be somewhat Excess, or disable this feature!
