Windows XP Super Killer

Everyone has been using Windows XP for a long time, and is very familiar with the Windows XP operating system! Have you summed up some experience to share with you? Below, I will share some of the experience accumulated in the process of using Windows XP operating system, and also let you quickly get started in the process of using Windows XP operating system. Mastering the skills of XP can better enjoy the powerful features that XP system brings to you.

1, restore the damaged Win XP system files

If the Windows XP system files are corrupted by viruses or other reasons, we can recover those damaged from the Windows XP installation disk file.

Specific method: Search for the corrupted file in the installation disk of Windows XP. It should be noted that the last character of the file name is replaced by the bottom line "_", for example: if you want to search for "Notepad.exe" You need to use "Notepad.ex_" for

search.

After searching, open the command line mode (enter "cmd" in "Run") and enter: "Full path of the EXPAND source file. Full path to the target file". For example: EXPAND D:\\SETUP\\NOTEPAD.EX_ C:\\Windows\\NOTEPAD.EXE. One thing to note is that if there are spaces in the path, you need to include the path in double quotes (quotation marks).

Of course, the best is found, but sometimes we can't find the files we need when searching on the Windows XP disk. One reason for this is that the file you are looking for is in the "CAB" file. Since Windows XP treats "CAB" as a folder, for Windows XP, just drag and drop the "CAB" file to the appropriate directory.

If you are using another Windows platform, search for a "CAB" file containing the target file name. Then open the command line mode and type: "EXTRACT /L target location full path of the CAB file", for example: EXTRACT /L C: \\ Windows D: \\ I386 \\ Driver .cab Notepad.exe. As before, as if there are spaces in the path, you need to enclose the path in double quotes.

2. Reject "grouping similar taskbars"

Although the Windows XP "Grouping Similar Taskbar Buttons" setting allows your taskbar to open less windows and keep it clean, but for some needs It is very inconvenient to open multiple windows of the same type. If you use QQ communication software to chat with people online, if there are more than two friends talking to you at the same time, you will immediately feel the inconvenience caused by the default settings of XP DD every time you want to switch the conversation object. You must first click on the group, then select the friends you want to talk in the pop-up menu, and each friend displays the same icon in the group. When there are many conversation objects, you may have to click one by one to see exactly Who replied, waiting for your reaction, and choosing the wrong one, has to choose from the group, it is very troublesome. Obviously, this is not as good as opening a few windows, and clicking on each small window in the taskbar can start chatting. Change method: Click “Start → Control Panel → Appearance and Theme → Taskbar and ‘Start Menu”. In the pop-up window, remove the hook in front of the “Group similar taskbar button” option.
3, through the registry to uninstall useless dynamic links

Resource Manager often leaves useless dynamic links in memory, in order to eliminate this phenomenon, you can open the registry editor, set the key value :HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion

\\EXPlorer\\AlwaysUnloadDLL=DWORD: 1 Set this to

to 0, this feature will be turned off. Note: In order for the settings to take effect, you will need to restart your computer.

4, clear the pre-read file in the prefetch folder

When Win XP is used for a period of time, the files in the pre-read folder will become very large, there will be dead chain files This will slow down the system time. Recommendation: Delete these files on a regular basis. (Windows\\prefetch)

5, Windows XP weight loss method

The following method is my current winXP weight loss method, after use, I feel safer, the effect is obvious, at least 300m space can be reduced. Note: It is not recommended for beginners to use

to remove the driver backup: Driver.cab file (73MB) in the Windows\\Driver cache\\i386 directory. However, we must insert the Windows installation CD each time we install new hardware. >

Delete system file backup (usually not used): Run the command line sfc /purgecache

Delete the alternate dll file: As long as you copy the installation file or have the installation CD, you can do this. . Files under Windows\\system32\\dllcache (minus 200-300mb).
7, understand Win XP boot time

Although the Windows XP boot speed has made us satisfied, but Microsoft still provides us with a specific understanding of the Windows XP startup time consumption The startup time widget, as well as the CPU usage, Disk I/O, etc., are visible at a glance because the tool is graphically displayed. Tools can be downloaded here.

8, restore EXE file association

EXE file association error is very troublesome, because the occurrence of this situation is mostly caused by the virus, and the main files of the anti-virus software are EXE files, Since the EXE file is faulty, how can I run anti-virus software? Fortunately, XP provides a command line tool in safe mode for us to use, you can use the command line tool to solve this problem.

In safe mode, type: assoc<space >.exe=exefile<Enter>, and “.exe=exefile” will appear on the screen. Now close the command prompt window, press Ctrl+Alt+Del to bring up the “Windows Security” window, press the “Shutdown” button and select the “Restart” option. After starting Windows in normal mode, all EXE files will be normal. Run it!

9, let Win XP automatically update

When Windows has an update, the automatic update system will prompt you to upgrade Windows, of course, this feature will be available after the Internet The real effect. One thing to be sure is that in order to achieve automatic updates, the system must collect the user's computer information, and then send it to the Microsoft site, through feedback to decide whether to upgrade. This setting is also in the "System Properties" window. Switch to the "Automatic Updates" tab. You can see that there are three choices here. The last one is "Close Auto Update", so the system will not prompt you to automatically update. If you are not using the genuine Windows XP operating system, I suggest you turn off this feature, because he may let you upgrade the system to Windows XP SP2 without knowing it, which will cause system instability.
10, install IIS in the Home version

As you know, Windows XP Home Edition can not install IIS or PWS. As a general rule, you can only upgrade to XP Professional or use Windows 2000, but with a little help, you can install IIS on Windows XP Home.

First enter "c:\\Windows\\inf\\sysoc.inf" in "Run" of the "Start" menu, the system will automatically open the sysoc.inf file using Notepad. Find the "[Components]" section in sysoc.inf and continue to find a line like "iis=iis.dll,OcEntry,iis.inf,hide,7" and replace this line with "iis=iis2.dll" , OcEntry, iis2.inf,, 7". Then save and close.

Insert the Windows 2000 Professional CD into the CD-ROM drive and press the Shift key to disable the CD-ROM drive. Enter "CMD" in the run and press Enter to open the command line mode. Enter the following two commands at the command line and press Enter after each line command (assuming the CD-ROM drive is D):

EXPand d:\\i386\\iis.dl_ c:\\Windows\\system32\\setup\\iis2.dll

EXPand d:\\i386\\iis.in_ c:\\Windows\\inf\\iis2.inf

At this point, open your control panel and click on the "Add Remove Programs" icon, then click on "Add and Remove Windows Components".

Please take a closer look, the operating system displayed in the "Start" menu is Windows XP Home, but after modification, there is already an option to add IIS.

Then you can add IIS by following the method in Windows XP Professional or Windows 2000. In this example, we only installed the WWW service. The system will start copying files, which will take some time. And for this reason, please keep the Windows 2000 Professional CD in the CD-ROM drive.

After the installation is complete, you can open "Control Panel → Performance and Options → Administrative Tools" and "Internet Information Service Management" has appeared there.

If you want to verify that IIS is working properly and IE is open, type http://localhost in the address bar and press Enter. If you can see the interface in Figure 3, then your IIS will be all It's working fine.

Finally, there is one more caveat: if you need to insert the Window Whistler CD during the installation process or you need to provide the exch_adsiisex.dll file, it is because you installed according to the default options. IIS. To solve this problem, just click "Details" when installing IIS, and then cancel the selection of SMTP (that is, do not install SMTP server), then you will not need those two files when copying files.

If you find that the Internet Information Services (IIS) installation project has been displayed after you installed the location in Figure 1, but they cannot be selected at all, it is likely because you are using iis.dl_ And iis.in_ is taken from Windows XP Professional, as long as it is replaced by Windows 2000 Professional, you can continue to install normally.

Verified, WWW, FTP, etc. Service With this modification can run properly on Windows XP Home.
