System restore can back up the normal state of the system, and restore to the previous backup state after problems occur. This function is very practical, but it takes up a lot of hard disk space. Usually 12% of the available space of each hard disk partition will be used to save the restore point. After many users skillfully use the image restoration software such as GHOST, system restoration becomes a bit redundant.

Method: On the My Computer-Properties-System Properties-System Restore tab, check the "Turn off system restore on all drives" check box. Click the "OK" button.

If it is necessary to establish a restore point for the system disk, we can also set to restore to the disk or public area where the system is located. First, select the partition where the system is located, click the "Configure" button, and cancel the "Turn off the system restore of this drive" option in the pop-up dialog box to set the space size of the disk used for system restore. ...

The second measure: transfer the page file

Page file is the virtual memory we mentioned in Windows 98. By default, the page file is located in the root directory of the system disk, so it takes up a lot of space on the system disk. Many users think that it takes up too much system disk space and want to delete the page file, but they find that even if it is deleted under DOS, it will still be generated after Windows restarts. In fact, through setting, we can completely transfer the page file to other partitions of the disk to save system disk space. At the same time, if you have more physical memory (such as 52 1MB or more), you can also set the maximum size of the page file smaller to reduce the size of the page file.

Right-click the "My Computer" icon,-Properties-System Properties-Advanced-Performance-Settings ... Switch to the "Advanced" tab in the opened "Performance Options" window. Click the Change button, and then in the Virtual Memory dialog box, specify the storage location of the paging file again. Finally,

Third operator: Turn off the sleep function.

The hibernation function of Windows XPtxxyr is always on by default. Activating this function will occupy disk space equal to our physical memory capacity in the system partition. Using hibernation function can make Windows XP shut down quickly at startup, but it is of little use to ordinary users. So we can completely turn off the hibernation function to solve the space.

Click the right mouse button in a blank space on the desktop. Properties-Display Properties-Screen Saver-Power Enter the Power Properties dialog box. Open the Hibernation tab. Then cancel the Enable Hibernation dialog box. Open the "Hibernate" priority card. Then uncheck the Enable Hibernation check box.

The fourth measure: uninstall components that are not commonly used.

Start-Settings-Control Panel-Add or Remove Programs-Add/Remove Windows Components. ...

Some Windows components do not appear in the Windows component list. This is because they are hidden by Windows XP to avoid being deleted by users by mistake. However, we can still make these components "show their true colors" and find the sysoc.inf file in the folder C:\Windows\inf. Open it with notepad. Then click "Edit-Replace" on the menu ... enter "Hide" in "Find Empty", click the Replace All button on the right, and all the "Hide" characters in the file will be replaced with empty characters ... All the hidden components will be deleted ... After saving the file, enter the Windows Component Wizard window again, and you will find the original.

The fifth measure: delete the file backup

Starting from 2K, the system will automatically back up important system files (stored in the folder C:\Windows\system32\dllcache) to ensure the symmetry of the system, and important system files will not be deleted or replaced by mistake. If you have a Windows XP installation CD, then this system file backup is dispensable.

Operationally, enter cmd to open, and then enter sfc/purgecache to delete all backup files. Then enter sfc/cachesize=0 and press enter to turn off the backup function of system files.

Enter gpedit.msc in the run box to open the group policy, computer configuration-management template-system-Windows file protection, double-click "Specify the cache location of Windows file protection" in the Kyrgyzstan window, click "Enable" in the opened Properties dialog box, and enter the path of the cache file in the input field below. Click "OK" to save the system file backup to the specified location ... At the same time, we can also limit the size of the system file backup, just double-click "Limit the size of the Windows file protection cache" and make appropriate settings in its properties dialog box.

Step 6: Delete the drive backup.

Windows XP will automatically back up the hardware driver, but we are unlikely to replace the hardware after the system is installed, so we consider deleting this backup. The hardware driver is located in the \windows\driver\cache\i386 directory, and its name is driver.cab We just need to delete it directly, which will probably free up 74MB of space.

Seventh measure: delete redundant input methods.

Not all input methods included in Windows XP system are suitable for your own use, such as Japanese and Korean. Go to the folder C:\Windows\ime and delete all folders except CHSIME and SHARED. If it cannot be deleted in Windows environment, you can enter safe mode and delete it smoothly.

Step 8: Delete the help file.

If you feel that you don't need to refer to the Windows Help file during the sharing process, you can also delete it. Just delete the help folder in the Windows directory ... but we don't recommend you to do the same ... because the Windows help file can still guide us when we are in trouble.

Now, after the "slimming" we haggle over every ounce, there is basically not much "fat" for us. Next, we should make good use of the Windows XP operating system. ..
